About the host
Black History Month Norway works to document and highlight African and Afrodiasporic art and cultural heritage in Norway.
In 2025, BHMN explores the impactful ways we keep the rich stories of Africa and the diaspora alive – through art, education and in everyday life. We reflect on timeless and contemporary traditions as we celebrate the history and cultural heritage of Africa and the diaspora in Norway and around the world.
