Event information
AfrikaBurn in collaboration with residents and civic organisations based in Observatory present Streetopia.
Streetopia is an annual event that brings communities and creatives together for a day of colour, creativity and good vibrations, filling the streets with art, sculpture, mutant vehicles, performances, music and market stalls. It’s free, and everyone’s invited.
For one day, attendees experience the streets of Observatory turned into a blank canvas where artists, performers, buskers, residents and kids can enjoy the open spaces. The aim is to keep it villagey, intimate, spontaneous, open to collaboration, and a space for causes and social activism.
Streetopia intends to benefit and be part of the community. Its schedule provides enough time for the crew and volunteers to clean the area and remove all decor and installations, leaving it in a better state than it was found.
