Fak'ugesi Digital African Digital Innovation Festival - ALIGHT Party

For the 2016 Fak’ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival being held in Braamfontein from 19.08.2016 – 03.09.2016, Berlin-based artists and technologists The Constitute will collaborate on a project with Johannesburg-based Create Africa. The collaborative project will bring together South Africa’s hip hop and electronic music artists, local filmmakers lead by Lebo Rasethaba and technologists. The outcome of the collaboration will be performed live at the festival’s Light Party.
 
This exciting collaboration was inspired by an earlier hack-a-thon led by Create Africa that used the documentary Future Sounds of Mzanzi (directed by Nthato Mokgata and Lebogang Rasethaba) as a starting point. The event resulted in a number of alternative applications that pushed the boundaries of South African music culture and technology.
