During the financial year, Experience Afrika Ltd continued to use African culture, music and creative enterprise as a means of bringing communities together and increasing appreciation of African heritage. The company’s activities centred on making African print merchandise and traditional African musical instruments accessible to customers and communities in Wales and the wider United Kingdom. Through the sale and promotion of African musical instruments, the company helped introduce people to African musical traditions and provided opportunities for individuals, families and communities to engage with African culture in a practical and accessible way. Traditional instruments are not simply products; they carry cultural knowledge, stories and musical practices that can otherwise become less visible outside their communities of origin. The company also promoted African identity and creativity through African print merchandise. By bringing African designs and products into the local marketplace, Experience Afrika helped increase the visibility of African culture while creating opportunities for cultural exchange between African diaspora communities and the wider community. Where products were sourced from African makers, musicians, craftspeople and other small suppliers, the company’s trading activities also provided a route to market for their work and helped connect African creative enterprise with customers in the United Kingdom. The company operated on a modest scale during the year, with income reinvested in maintaining its activities rather than distributed to shareholders. Despite the scale of operations, Experience Afrika continued to pursue its wider community purpose: celebrating African heritage, encouraging intercultural understanding, supporting creative enterprise and creating spaces through which African culture can be experienced, appreciated and shared.
Experience Afrika Ltd’s stakeholders include members of the African diaspora and wider communities in Wales and the United Kingdom, customers, African artists and creatives, suppliers and makers of African products, musicians, and individuals with an interest in African culture, music and heritage. During the financial year, consultation was primarily informal and took place through ongoing conversations and interactions with customers and community members. Feedback was received through direct discussions, enquiries, customer interactions and engagement around the company’s African print merchandise and traditional African musical instruments. These interactions provided the company with insight into the products people were interested in, their awareness of African cultural traditions, and the ways in which they wished to engage with African culture. The company also engaged with musicians, creatives, suppliers and other members of the African community through its normal activities. These relationships provided useful feedback on the presentation and promotion of African products and helped the company remain connected to the cultural context and communities represented through its activities. Feedback received during these interactions informed decisions about the range of products offered and the company’s continuing emphasis on African print merchandise and traditional musical instruments. Particular attention was given to products that encourage cultural appreciation, conversation and the sharing of African heritage with both African diaspora and wider communities. Given the small scale of the company, stakeholder engagement remained proportionate to its activities and was based mainly on direct relationships rather than formal surveys or consultation exercises. Experience Afrika intends to continue using stakeholder feedback to shape its activities and strengthen the community benefit generated through the promotion of African culture, creativity and heritage.
