About Us – Raven AfriKulture

About Us.

We’re not just building events, we’re building a movement.

Celebrating African Art, Music & Culture in Scotland.

Raven AfriKulture (RAK) is the long-overdue platform carving space for African art, music, and culture in Scotland. It didn’t start as a brand. It started as a need. A loud, urgent call to bring African creativity from the sidelines to centre stage. A desire to honour the richness of African heritage; its rhythm, its voice, its fire.

Everything we do is built on one simple, unshakable truth: African culture inspires, uplifts, and unites. And that truth drives every event, every project, every collaboration. We don’t just curate experiences, we create moments that leave a mark.

But make no mistake: RAK isn’t an event. It’s a movement. A growing force of artists, thinkers, storytellers, and communities who refuse to be unseen. RAK is alive, a space where heritage and modernity collide, where tradition is not frozen in time, but reimagined with power and pride.

Whether you’re an artist, a music lover, a culture builder, or just curious, RAK is your space. To belong. To explore. To connect. To celebrate. To see and be seen. This is where African culture claims its space; boldly, unapologetically, and on its own terms.

Our Vision

To be Scotland’s leading platform for African art, music, and cultural expression. A place where artists finds their voice and grow bold. Where African culture is celebrated and felt.

Our Mission

To celebrate and elevate African culture through immersive experiences, empowering artists, and connecting communities.
