Afropolitans, Washington

Every day millions of people around the world venture into their cities' bustling marketplaces to eat, shop, and interact. An Ankara Bazaar re-creates the sites and sounds of what such a market would look like in Africa. The pop-up event gives small businesses and vendors a place to sell their Afrocentric clothing, art, music, and food. There will also be cultural performances and an exclusive fashion show to showcase some of the most innovative designs.
