Following the success of the Afro Exchange Creative Summit, which attracted some of Uganda’s biggest creative voices and industry leaders, the Afro Exchange Takeover signals the evolution of the platform into a fully immersive cultural showcase.
What began in 2025 as a bold creative forum is now shaping up to become one of the most anticipated cultural moments of the year.
The April 12 takeover promises a pan-African creative immersion, featuring talents, performers, and cultural acts from across the continent.
Organisers say the experience will fuse music, art, fashion, and culture into a single electrifying night, creating a true exchange of sound, style, and expression.
Designed as a multi-sensory journey, the event targets music lovers, art enthusiasts, fashion tastemakers, and cultural explorers.
From immersive installations and live performances to bold fashion statements and curated brand experiences, Afro Exchange is positioning itself as more than just an event — but as a growing cultural movement.
Christine Kyokunda, Johnnie Walker Brand Manager for East Africa, described Afro Exchange as a platform created to connect Africa’s creative ecosystems, spotlight emerging voices, and provide spaces where culture can be experienced rather than simply consumed.
“This is not just another party; it’s a cultural takeover. It’s a creative statement. As a brand, it’s our opportunity to shine a light on the incredible creatives and cultures across the continent, while elevating the trendsetters and pioneers who are actively shaping the future of African creativity,” she said.
“Imagine a tale of two cities, bringing Africa’s creative energy together. It is going to be an unforgettable experience; you should not miss it,” she added.
With anticipation building, creatives, tastemakers, and culture shapers are being encouraged to save the date and secure their invitations to what promises to be one of the most A-list cultural experiences of the year.
