Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival 2025

Africa’s trailblazing digital creativity festival returns to Johannesburg from 9 - 12 October, pulsing with the energy of art, tech, and innovation.

This year’s theme, Power Surge, brings together the continent’s boldest creators - artists, coders, gamers, designers, and storytellers - for four days of exhibitions, performances, workshops, screenings, and talks that spark new ways of thinking and making.

From AI and immersive tech to climate-conscious design and ancestral intelligence, Fak’ugesi is where African culture meets future-forward innovation. It’s not just a festival, it’s a live current of ideas, rooted in community and driven by purpose.

Plug in. Power up. Be part of the surge.
