The festival is a carefully-curated event that brings together the world’s most creative minds, writes Marchelle Abrahams.

The annual Design Indaba kicked off at Cape Town’s Artscape Theatre this week. The festival is a carefully-curated event that brings together the world’s most creative minds.

The three-day conference is an intersection of business, innovation, and most importantly, expression. But it’s also a platform for SA’s up-and-coming creatives to showcase their products.

This year organisers are including Nightscape - an inner-city festival immersed at the Artscape Piazza.

Below are a list of highlights of the festival and what visitors can expect.

Conference

The highlight of the creative calendar, the Design Indaba Conference brings together creatives from around the world to share their visions with attendees.
