The Faculty of Arts and Design at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is all set for its sixth TUT Arts Festival, which will take place on the Arts Campus from 2 to 4 September 2024.

Building on the  theme of ARTIVISM, the Festival will focus on how a creative consciousness will manufacture joy in a society that is seized with a myriad of challenges. This has implications for creatively addressing social challenges and cultivating responsible citizenship and social awareness.

​

This year, the Faculty is excited to announce a pioneering partnership with the Riky Rick Foundation for the Promotion of Artivism, Community Arts Network (CAN) and the Global Commons Alliance (GCA) for the highly anticipated inaugural Global Artivism Conference 2024, scheduled to take place from 5 to 8 September 2024. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment in leveraging the arts for social and environmental change, fostering a platform for dialogue, innovation, advocacy and action.
