The QAFF is in search of recognizing through the exploration of an unknown land. QAFF is a point of convergence of numerous afro communities in the world, likewise is a space to discover new talents. We need our own narrative, with a perspective of who we are and what we are. We are narrative beings. Our past lives, present and future are narratives. Correspondingly we have been oppressed by global narratives, and we can be set free by them. This festival is the opportunity for the community to make their everyday life a narrative.
