ALUTA NOVA FESTIVAL OF MUSEUMS
Aluta Nova Festival of Museums, which was set to take place in June 2021 and
postponed due to covid regulations, is now scheduled to happen on 2 October 2021
- meaning more sunshine and warmth for our festival guests! This thrilling festival
aims to give back young people their place in history through various educational
and public programmes designed to promote a museum-going culture. Most
importantly, the event will give youth the power to re-write their own narratives, re-
claim, and re-imagine their own heritage at a time where culture is dynamic and
constantly changing.
Aluta Nova is thus earmarked as one of the City’s signature programmes curated to
offer the youth an opportunity to learn about and explore history, heritage, and
culture through a contemporary and decolonial lens. The festival will offer a variety of
activities such as the iconic London Bus Museum tours, food/craft markets and an
enticing live music line-up which will include live performances by Urban Village, Ami
Faku, Charles Gene Suite, Bilal Da DJ, Uncle Partytime, Your Uncle Garry, Kat
Upendi and The Dig Experience.
This museum programme will further contribute to supporting local talent and
creative SMMEs during a difficult time where the pandemic has affected the creative
industry economically.
While this Festival of Museums is focused at highlighting the museum offerings of
the James Hall Museum of Transport, in the coming years, this festive
commemoration of urban culture will see different museums of the City Joburg
participating and presenting their curated experiences to the public.
