Caravane Festival
Saturday, March 19 | 2:00 - 8:00 pm | AFNO, 1519 jackson ave.
Celebrate le jour de la francophonie with a full day of artistic and collaborative workshops, food, and music!
Free entry until 5:00 pm | $5 after 5:00 pm | Free all day for AFNO members
The AFNO wanted to celebrate the Louisiana Francophonie by inviting French speakers and non French speakers of New Orleans to take the floor and encourage them to create a dialogue between words of the French language and their cultures. This festival will be shaped by collaborative activities open to all, workshops for children and adults, and even a concert with Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes and other artistic surprises!
We are very proud to announce our participation in the international Caravane des dix mots (Caravane of Ten Words) project to promote, in partnership with Nous Foundation, the voices of Louisiana in the French-speaking world. The Caravane des dix mots invites French speakers from all over the world to take the French language and give their definitions of 10 chosen words, definitions that depend on one's experience, history or even the other languages one speaks! This project is shared with French speakers from Quebec, Benin, Burundi, Egypt, Togo, China and even Belgium and Romania, who will also give their definitions of divulgâcher, décalé, ébaubi, époustouflant, farcer, kaï, méduser, pince-moi, saperlipopette et tintamarre.
« La langue francaise appartient à tous ceux qui la parlent ! » « The French language belongs to all those who speak it! »
