Fak'ugesi African Digital & Innovation Festival

Fak'ugesi exists to accelerate African creativity, technology and society. We back the people building new languages, new systems and new futures-right here, right now. This festival is our transmission to the world, and our commitment to the continent.

Founded in 2014 by the Wits School of Arts, the Festival is Africa’s pioneering festival of digital creativity and innovation. 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 and innovation intelligence.
