VENUE
Corner Buitenkant St & Caledon St
District Six, Cape Town, 8001
We're very excited to be hosted by The Homecoming Centre (HCC) for the 2025 IFC Pop-Up. The HCC of the District Six Museum is a multi-purpose event and education space, and an amalgamation of arts, performance, learning and community. It features purposeful spaces including the Star Theatre, the Avalon Auditorium, Tafel Hall, and an on-site cafe run by the team at The HCC Cafe. Each space has its own story to tell and, like District Six itself, celebrates the rich culture and history before it.
