What is AniMeet?
The AniMeet is a celebration of all things anime. A rare opportunity to get to mingle with other anime fans and express our love for the subculture. This event goes beyond a mere gathering; it is a melting pot of creativity, self-expression, and the sheer joy of being part of a community that cherishes the intricate world of anime. From the impressive of cosplays, to an immersive artist alley that showcases anime-inspired artwork, to vendor stalls that allow you to explore the amazing anime and manga recommendations, the event is a communal, immersive, and unforgettable experience.

Cosplay

Artist Alley
Our Artist Alley serves as a bustling marketplace where Zambian artists, both seasoned and emerging, converge to unveil their masterpieces and share their unique visions with an enthusiastic audience. The Artist Alley is not merely a marketplace; it is a vibrant hub of creativity and inspiration, where artists draw inspiration from each other’s work and collaborate on new projects. It fosters a sense of community and camaraderie, where artists support and uplift one another, sharing tips, techniques, and insights gleaned from their own artistic journeys.
