KUJENGA

This performance by Kujenga is a massive coup for lovers of live music in the KZN Midlands!

After blowing away audiences at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival and Joburg’s Joy of Jazz, they’re just back from touring the United Kingdom.

2024 SAMA Nominees, Kujenga, are a “seven piece Black improvised music collective from Cape Town” that is currently one of SA’s hottest gigs around.

Described as having “captivated audiences with their unique sound that fuses traditional jazz elements with contemporary influences while blending Africanism into their sound. Kujenga has quickly risen to prominence …, known for their ability to seamlessly blend detailed rhythms and harmonies while also celebrating those who fought for social change, through their music”.

The ‘retroflection’ exhibition: “twenty years of the ‘the shift’ in social justice work” – draws on the work of a local organisation that responded to the question: Can organisations work in ways that see, hear and are shaped by, the thinking and the work of ordinary people themselves? Can civil society organisations respect, and learn from, people’s own efforts to get together and confront situations of injustice, oppression, and environmental harm? Two decades ago, this small organisation, CLP, decided to try.
