Since its opening in 1993, the Africa House, directed by Oumar Diallo, a sociologist from Guinea (Conakry), has developed into an institution that enjoys recognition beyond the borders of the capital as a place for transcultural exchange and political education. The Afrika-Haus regularly offers space for discussions, film screenings, book presentations, theater performances, exhibitions and musical performances for up to 80 guests. The focus is on history, politics, literature and philosophy of Africa and African-European relations.
