Launched in June 2025 in Johannesburg and continuing in Lagos in September, Johnnie Walker AfroExchange will unfold through a series of powerful, culturally rich experiences:
AfroExchange brings together visionary voices in music, fashion, art, food, and storytelling, creating space for collaboration, creative experimentation, expression, and shared progress.
Rooted in the spirit of the brand’s Keep Walking philosophy, AfroExchange is more than an event—it’s a movement dedicated to spotlighting Africa’s most dynamic cultural trailblazers and building bridges between two of its most influential creative hubs—Jozi and Lagos.
At Johnnie Walker, we believe in celebrating those who challenge convention, shift culture, and shape what’s next,” says Ifeoma Agu, Group Head of Culture, Influencer, and Advocacy at Diageo South, West and Central Africa.
“AfroExchange represents a powerful evolution in how we engage with culture as a brand- we believe in championing progress through this platform as we are investing in voices, stories and innovations driving Afrocultural movement forward. It is a cultural bridge that pays tribute to Africa’s bold creators — a space for connection, creative experimentation, influence and cultural pride.”
