What's on at the 2018 Basha Uhuru Freedom Fest?
The Constitution Hill's youth festival, Basha Uhuru Freedom Fest, will return for a sixth year at 11 Kotze Street in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. This year's programme is set to feature a mix of art exhibitions, film screenings, poetry and live music, food and craft markets, a creative conference, as well as a music festival closing off the focus month's festivities on 30 June 2018.
The youth festival is held in commemoration of South Africa’s youth of 1976 and was established in 2013 to provide a platform that would facilitate the spectrum of artistic expression for young professionals in the creative industry. In its first year, the festival - which encompassed a group art exhibition, panel discussions, and a music concert - attracted over 1,500 youth.
With youth unemployment as a key focus in national discourse, the festival offers an unparalleled youth creative showcase profiling the creative sector as an attractive and viable sector for youth to participate in economically.
