About Us

[]

The AfroCreatives WikiProject (ACWP) seeks to support and mobilize African cultural and creative industry stakeholders and cultural enthusiasts from across Africa and the diaspora to enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about the continent’s creative economy and cultural contributions.

Only an estimated 1.5% of Wikipedia’s contributors and 15% of its contributions originate from the continent, and just 5.5% of all geotagged Wikipedia articles across all languages are related to Africa. (Wikimedia Community Insights Report 2020)

ACWP was launched with an initial focus on African Film and Television, serving as a foundation for learning and future growth across other cultural and creative industries. In November 2025, ACWP is expanding its scope to include African literature, followed by further expansion into African fashion in 2026.

ACWP is spearheaded by The Africa Narrative (TAN), a non-profit dedicated to building capacity in the African creative economy and amplifying the global visibility of African cultural soft power.

AfroCreatives WikiProject+film is the inaugural effort of AfroCreatives WikiProject. By mobilizing African film creatives, professionals, experts, and film enthusiasts, ACWP+film aims to measurably enhance information on Wikipedia about the art and industry of African film, including:

The history of African cinema
Biographies of notable African creatives and professionals that span the industry
Notable African movies and television series
African studios, streaming platforms, awards, festivals, guilds, film schools, and other institutions that form the industry ecosystem
Developments in animation, AR, VR, and other technologies shaping the African film industry
Film financing, government policies, skills development, and other key industry issues

As of 14 October 2026, there are 7,944 articles within the scope of WikiProject AfroCreatives, of which 5 are featured and 17 are good articles. This makes up 0.11% of the articles on Wikipedia, 0.04% of all featured articles and lists, and 0.04% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 19,486 pages in the project.
