Loeries Creative Week

Made possible by:

Loeries Creative Week to be held in vibrant District Six, Cape Town

The Loeries Creative Week 2022 will be held in the City of Cape Town's District Six area from 3 October to 8 October.

The Loeries is Africa’s and the Middle East’s premier award that recognises, rewards, inspires and fosters creative excellence in the brand communication industry.

For the 2022 edition of Loeries Creative Week, District Six will be transformed into a vibrant hub where creative excellence from across the region will combine with the history and culture of District Six to amplify this year’s theme which aims to inspire the industry to #CreateMagic.

District Six is in an area rich in cultural heritage. It was destroyed by the Apartheid government due to its image as a space where diversity could thrive within a single community.

Today, the vibrancy of the area is directly inspired by the original community of District Six and Loeries Creative Week will serve to create greater focus on the area while ensuring that the events of the week helps support the businesses in the community.

The week also promises a cultural immersion into the various spaces within District Six which include The District Six Homecoming Centre, The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation and the District Six Museum.

Creative minds from the region as well as the public will be treated to the following week-long activities:
