American Friends of Zeitz MOCAA (AFOZM) is a non-profit non-political organization aligned with
Zeitz MOCAA, the preeminent contemporary art museum on the African continent.

 American Friends of Zeitz MOCAA (AFOZM) was founded in 2017 alongside Zeitz MOCAA's opening
in South Africa. Our mission is to advance contemporary art from and about Africa and its Diaspora.
We do this by advocating for and supporting African creativity and its production through our membership
and granting programs. We are Americans who support contemporary art from and about Africa.

“We are turning the dialogue of contemporary art from and about Africa and its Diaspora on its axis.”
Koyo Kouoh, Exective Director and Chief Curator, Zeitz MOCAA
