Sophiatown Arts Festival

Arts

The Sophiatown Arts Festival is a community-curated arts festival presenting music, archives, local talent, and food. Sophiatown is largely known for its history of jazz, style, literature; and the forced removals that destroyed lots of this culture - yet not all of it! We would love to show the world that Sophiatown's spirit survived and is interpreted in the contemporary. We would love to invite the whole of Johannesburg into the suburb of Sophiatown to share its history and magic!
