Live music, tattoo art, silkscreen printing and a night market will all amalgamate to manifest a day to remember.
In the afternoon, audiences will get to experience the pleasure of watching their own T-shirt get printed. Conversation will be situated around a table soccer game and arcade pac-man. Scrabble battles and crazy-eight card games will ensue. Young and enterprising individuals will be showcasing their products ranging from sunglasses, jewellery and vintage clothing. DJing by the likes of Crate Diggers Emporium, Kuttin’ Keith, Zakes, Pilzy Lee, Polyester Velcro, Mystikal Ebony and Xpress Gundalogic will provide the main source of the afternoon’s ambience and entertainment.
As day turns to night, musicians and griots will take to the stage with strings, brass, keys and poetry engulfing the audience’s senses late into the early hours of the following morning.
