Following the opening screening of Hyenas (Filmhouse) everyone is warmly invited to celebrate AiM’s 10th birthday in style at Edinburgh’s number one arts venue, Summerhall. Join us for an evening filled with African beats, dancing, circus acts and African cocktails and snacks as we warm up a chilly October evening with the vibrancy of African culture. The party will begin with a performance by Scottish drumming group Baobab Gateway, whose unique sound fuses Western and West African instruments. Later, the Artcore Circus (Pyroceltica) and fire artist Ashley Male will perform a packed show of acrobatics, parkour, fire throwing, stilt walking and more. To take us into the late night, Edinburgh-based DJ Swank ‘n’ Jam’s afrocentric beats will get you on the dance floor. All of this can be enjoyed with a complimentary cocktail, Knights Kitchen’s finest Kenyan cuisine, and, of course, no birthday party would be complete without a slice of cake!
