Mamah Africa Week. Semana Cultural de Guinea Ecuatorial

The Mamah Africa Gallery presents its third Mamah Africa Week, an event that aims to bring the richness of African culture to the Spanish public, demonstrating African artistic expression in different formats, going beyond the clichés about the continent.

This year, Mamah Africa Week will pay tribute for a week to Equatorial Guinea, a country historically linked to Spain and joined with us by numerous cultural ties.

It aims, over the next six months, to showcase emerging artists and intellectuals who are part of the important Equatorial Guinean community living in our country where they remain active in the cultural landscape. For example, Justo Bolekia Boleká who is a professor at the University of Salamanca and a member of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language.

The official opening of Mamah Africa Week will take place in the Sala Galileo Galilei (C/ Galileo 100, Madrid), on Monday 3 October at 7:30pm. It will be opened by journalist and specialist on Africa Lola Huete Machado (El País-Planeta Futuro), who will give an overview of the cultural week’s activities. This will be followed by a performance from the Equatorial Guinean singer Astrid Jones and a fashion show from the designer Maica de la Carrera, showing her new autumn-winter 2016/17 collection “Equatorial Guinea”.

The event will be accompanied by the best music from Equatorial Guinea, selected and played by renowned DJ Floro, and will include the participation of Antonio Pérez-Portabella (President of the Institut Catalunya África, co-sponsor of the event along with Casa África) and the collaboration of the artist Gorsy Edu.

On Wednesday 5, an exhibition by the artist Lydia Mba opens in the Mamah Africa Gallery and will run for three months. Other activities planned include an African evening on Friday 7 with Professor Justo Bolekia Boleká. The week will close on Saturday morning with screenings of El secreto del Bosque (“The Secret of the Forest”) from filmmaker Antonio Grunfeld and Feguibox from Rubén Mosuy.

Fashion, music, exhibitions, evening events and cinema during a cultural week that will last for 6 months with many cultural activities in the Mamah Africa Gallery (C/ Conde Duque 48, bajo derecha) to allow us to learn more about a country as rich and diverse as is Equatorial Guinea.
