Join Us at the Afro Brunch: A Culinary Celebration and Introduction to the Vyakulani Africa in Brussels

 

vyakulani afro brunchWe are thrilled to invite you to a unique Afro brunch that celebrates the rich and diverse flavors of Africa. This brunch is more than just a meal; it's about community, connection, and cultural exchange. It will be an immersive cultural experience for people from all walks of life to come together, share stories, and celebrate the rich cultural tapestry that African cuisine represents.

At the heart of the Afro Brunch is the Vyakulani Africa Project which plans to engage with the African diaspora in Belgium to document and share the diverse culinary traditions that have traveled from Africa to Europe. By working closely with local communities, the Vyakulani Africa Project’s  aim is to create a comprehensive and interactive map of African food heritage in Belgium, showcasing the rich and varied gastronomic traditions that African migrants have brought with them.
