After its first two editions in 2010 and 2012, 'Treffpunkt Afrika“ is back for 2014 with this year’s festival titled ''Afropea Now!“

At the core of the festival is a two-day symposium accompanied by film screenigs, concerts, a workshop and an exhibition, at Stadtwerkstatt and on board of MS Schönbrunn. Local and international artists, experts and activists will discuss aspects of African-European identities and cultural productions from various points of view.
