Dorcas here! And I am back from an incredible experience at CANEX Weekend 2024 in Algiers, Algeria! The four-day event, held from October 16 to 19, was packed with activities, masterclasses, exhibits, and entertainment, celebrating Africa’s diverse and powerful creative industries. Here’s a breakdown of my experience:
Day 1: I arrived in Algeria and quickly joined the media team. After the event’s opening, Afreximbank President Professor Benedict Oramah met with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to discuss CANEX’s mission and its importance for Global Africa. The event kicked off at the Opera House, where we were treated to fantastic performances by Qing Madi, Uganda’s Ghetto Kids, and other talented African artists. The energy and unity in the room set the perfect tone for the days to come.
