The Afropunk Festival began in 2005, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York. By 20218 Afropunk Festivals had also been held in various major cities, including Atlanta, Paris, France, London, UK, Salvador, Brazil, Dakar, Senegal, and Johannesburg, South Africa. The festival was founded and conceived by Matthew Morgan and the film component was co-founded by James Spooner, which grew out of the 2003 documentary titled Afro-Punk which studied black punks across America.[1] produced by Morgan and written by Spooner.
