With locations popping up in Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Paris, Afropunk Fest is one of the fastest-growing music festivals in the world.

Headliners at this year's festival in Brooklyn on August 27 and 28 included hip-hop heavyweights Janelle Monae, Ice Cube, and Tyler, the Creator. It’s easy to get caught up in the performances, but the music is only a small part of a much bigger picture: the art itself.
