UBUNTU CREATIVE SUMMIT

As an extension of our Quarterly UBUNTU RAVE FESTIVAL, Ubuntu Creative Summit is as a flexible, roving platform bringing together African artists, activists, and other thought leaders engaging with today’s most pressing issues.

Having emerged alongside the definition of performance art, the Summit highlighted and united artists and practitioners working beyond the traditional art market, many of whom were intervening in areas of civic life, politics, and media. Presenting a critical range of perspectives, the Summit provides strategies for social change in local and global contexts

The challenge

At the first Ubuntu Creative Summit, we hosted over 500 physical attendees. Just as significantly, the Summit is also a forum for emerging artists and thinkers to debut ideas and for organizers to engage Summit audiences in their projects and communities
