cultures  in  conversation  gallery

The Cultures in Conversation Gallery celebrates the African and Diasporic cultural movements, institutions, and figures shaping how the world understands culture, identity, and power today. This is a space where stories, ideas, and artistic expressions cross borders—where culture becomes a tool for building bridges between communities, generations, and nations.

Here, we highlight the power of cultural diplomacy, soft power, and intercultural dialogue and exchange as forces that shape policy, inspire change, and strengthen connections across the globe. From music and literature to diplomacy and design, the gallery showcases how African and Diasporic voices have long been central to global conversations and how they continue to imagine more inclusive, just, and peaceful futures.

The gallery invites visitors to reflect on how dialogue across cultures fosters empathy, mutual respect, and shared understanding, creating the foundation for lasting social cohesion and a culture of peace
