The Activation
The Creative20 x Jozi My Jozi are launching “The Annual Kasiology Festival”, a dynamic, township-based design, creativity, and lifestyle festival for the vibrant creative community and residents of Soweto.
The word “Kasi” is used frequently in daily conversation. It refers to the township, but has a much deeper meaning of identity, culture, history, vision, attitude, aesthetic, language and so much more. Each township is a Kasi, with its own unique identity. Kasiology is a commitment to defining, learning, experiencing and sharing this meaning. The vision is to have The Kasiology Festivals in townships across the country, and world.
