STR.CRD,
Africa’s no. 1 Urban Street Culture showcase, proudly supported by Jameson
Irish Whiskey, Fiat, Nedbank and DStv, will hit Constitution Hill in
Johannesburg from 7 - 9 November this year.
Over
the years STR.CRD has created a name for itself as the quintessential African
urban street culture festival and 2014 will be no different with an array of
music, fashion, skate and bmx events, parkour, graffiti, dance and art
exhibitions.
The
public festivities kick off at 11h00 on 8 November and will continue until
late. The programme for the day includes
the STR.CRD x FullCourt21 basketball tournament, a VANS street skate
competition, a Stylista street style photo booth and finishes off with the
official after party taking place in Braamfontein. Further details on the programme will be
announced in October via www.str.crd.com.
Over
and above the public street festival, the anticipated STR.CRD exhibition
showcases the best of the best of urban brands and brand ethos. “Our ultimate goal is to capture the essence
of true African street culture, to reflect who the urban youth are in a truly
authentic way,” says Mandla Mazibuko, STR.CRD project director. The exhibition/trade-show will open by
invitation only with a street fashion show on 7 November and will be open to
the public on 8 November.
STR.CRD
will take place at Constitution Hill, the heart of Johannesburg’s urban
history. To gain access festivalgoers
will need to register via the website www.strcrd.com. Entrance is R50 for those who register online
and R150 for those who pay at the door (without registering).
The
day before, on the 7 November from 22h00 – 02h00, STR.CRD will host an
exclusive Nu-Tomorrow Music concert at a secret location within Constitution
Hill. The concert is a ticketed event.
The tickets are very limited and the Nu-Tomorrow line up will be announced via
the website in October. Tickets can be
purchased via www.nu-tickets.co.za for R350.
“STR.CRD
is about creating an authentic and creative platform for youth
convergence. We believe it to be a
multi-racial, multi-cultural platform where African urban street culture can be
showcased and where South Africa’s creative industries can have an urban
platform to expose their work. STR.CRD
is a coming together of youth, culture, brands and street” says Mazibuko.
