Newly added for the Brooklyn Museum’s presentation are never-before-seen objects from the artist’s archive, as well as a “social sculpture,” which draws upon Abloh’s background in architecture. Exhibition is on view now through January 29, 2023.

A Night In With AFROPUNK
Just before Fashion Week, on September 6th at Soho Works (875 Washington St) in Manhattan, “A Night In With AFROPUNK,” presented by Maui Moisture, combines a panel discussing the beauty industry from a Black perspective with a sleepover vibe. Attendees can watch the filmed panel, touching on issues such as why hair and makeup are important for women of color and how social media aids in diversifying what the world sees as beautiful, can choose a special manicure from a limited number of gel designs.
Keep an eye out for more announcements related to AFROPUNK’s fashion initiatives in the coming days.

During Fashion Week, AFROPUNK shines a spotlight on independent Black designers with “AFROPUNK Style Noir.” At a luxury black-owned boutique in Chelsea, New York, T.A. NYC, owner and buyer Telsha Andreson hosts emerging black owned brands for a takeover in her store. “Style Noir” designers will show off their wares between sets at AFROPUNK Brooklyn 2022.
AFROPUNK Brooklyn 2022
The relaunched AFROPUNK Brooklyn brings a constellation of the most exciting artists in modern music to Commodore Barry Park, including headliners Burna Boy and The Roots. Beyond the headliners brings a group of game-changing names looking to make a statement at AFROPUNK. TDE rhymer Isaiah Rashad graces the stage for his first-ever AFROPUNK performance, ready to embrace an inclusive and accepting new community as he continues the latest chapter in his life and career. Notable big names on the lineup include Lucky Daye, Freddie Gibbs, Tierra Whack, and Earl Sweatshirt, who performed at his first AFROPUNK since reuniting with Tyler, The Creator and Syd at AFROPUNK 2016. Other standout performers run the genre gamut, from wide-ranging rock star Bartees Strange, to innovative jazz quintet Butcher Brown, crossover AfroBeats artist Adekunle Gold, and rising amapiano producer SPINALL, whose hit “Palazzo” ft. Asake is climbing Billboard’s Hot Afrobeats chart.
After hosting events in Miami, Atlanta, Bahia, and Johannesburg in recent years, and an event in Minneapolis this weekend, AFROPUNK feels great to be home.
