international – innovative – interdisciplinary

ARTS IN THE CITY

"The jozi art:lab is where European and African artists meet, so let’s hear it for the international culture guerrilla!  No obligations, a noisy boomtown right next door, and   like-minded people everywhere you look, argueing, discussing, coming up with great ideas or working on interesting projects. What could possibly prevent a writer from getting down to work here?"
(Feridun Zaimoglu, writer, dramatist, Germany)
