The Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria (Javett-UP), in partnership with Colombian artist Oscar Murillo, is excited to present the Frequencies Festival, a family-friendly art and music gathering that will be held at the end of October.

It will be headlined by folk and blues guitar maestro Dr Madala “Bafo” Kunene, African experimental jazz band Iphupho L’ka Biko and CAFCA Ensemble, which will speak to Murillo’s exhibition, Frequencies. The festival will take place on Saturday, 28 October, and coincides with the Javett-UP’s four-year anniversary. The centre’s refurbished façade, which adorns a newly constructed gathering area with a performance platform that will host exciting offerings, will be inaugurated on the day.

This is art and music festival has been curated for all ages to enjoy. Between musical performances, there will be a children’s edutainment session and the launch of Javett-UP’s long-awaited Handle with Care publication that was made possible by the National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences. When you add R5 to your ticket, you stand a chance of winning a copy of the publication on the day. Food and beverage stalls will also be available on-site.
