What can Africa do to help the Western world? As a continent often written off as an intractable problem, Africa Utopia turns the tables to explore how can Africa offer solutions to a world plagued by conflict, food and water shortages, corporate greed and economic turmoil? The launch of Africa Utopia in July 2012 had these questions at its heart. Africa Utopia is a cultural summit ? a conference for young activists from the UK and across Africa, a delegation of artistic elders and a festival of performances, talks, films and debates. Taking the imagery of ?village', young people will be invited to create this summit. Together with the elders they will examine key questions that concern progress and human rights, using examples of ground-breaking and innovative projects in Africa to suggest solutions.
