How BLKTOPIA Centers Black Style
By Daniella Johnson · Updated August 26, 2024

Every year AFROPUNK Fest shows how otherworldly and magical Black beauty is. 

Since it’s inception, AFROPUNK created a transformative space for alternative Black style, culture and music to thrive. The festival’s latest call to action is BLKTOPIA, a movement created within AFROPUNK that highlights the importance of creating an experience where oppression, inequality and exploitation are not allowed. 

BLKTOPIA is about  pushing back against the status quo. The movement is calling upon attendees to reimagine society without historical restrictions and use that vision to establish a newer, more vibrant standard of living. 

The movement’s five main pillars of innovation, discovery, empowerment, artistry and social change can be scene throughout the two-day festival which included two headlining sets from the astounding Erykah Badu, a moving set from Soulection DJ as well as an electric performance from the legendary House of Juicy Couture during the BLKTOPIA’s Fight Club NYC Ballroom Battle. 

This year AFROPUNK BLKTOPIA was hosted in collaboration with BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn!, an organization focused on empowering the creativity within one of New York’s finest boroughs. 

Celebrating Brooklyn through AFROPUNK BLKTOPIA is synonymous with celebrating how the universal imprint of Black style can be seen through safe spaces like CurlFest and across the world at events such as the 2024 Paris Olympics.  

Here are some of NaturallyCurly’s favorite BLKTOPIA looks:
