Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival

Where culture meets code, and Africa powers the future.

Founded in 2014 through a dynamic collaboration between Tshimologong Innovation Precinct and the Wits School of Arts (Digital Arts Department), Fak’ugesi is Africa’s pioneering festival of digital creativity. We spark new energy at the intersection of art, culture, and technology - amplifying African talent, storytelling, and innovation.

At its core, Fak’ugesi believes that true tech innovation must be rooted in the continent’s cultural intelligence. By connecting ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge digital expression, we empower a generation of African creators to lead the global digital shift.
