Cellphone rap, Black history, facepainting and an open mic will be some of the fun at Fingo Festival this year.

Cellphone rap, Black history, facepainting and an open mic will be some of the fun at Fingo Festival this year.

Jointly commissioned by the National Art Festival, Eastern Cape Province Arts and Culture Council, Makana Municipality and the Khulumani Support Group, Fingo Festival offers local artists an affordable performance platform and exhibition space, and township audiences easy access to the Festival.

Co-director Bulelani Booi said there would be plenty for children to do, with the Keiskamma Foundation offering reading and painting programmes.

Phaphamani Children's Literature will also offer reading, as well as creative writing and face-painting, organised games and puppet shows complete the kids' line-up.

Music, dance, drama, exhibitions, poetry and discussions on social change and nation-building are also on the Fingo Festival programme.

Wordsuntame, Spoze, Bliss and Azlan, Near Collective and Via Kasi Movers are some of the acts lined up, as well as Ubom! drama company and Sakhuluntu Cultural Group.

Kehase, a Rastafarian cultural organisation from Port Elizabeth, will be discussing the history of Black people, telling stories of the amaXhosa and the amaNguni.

The children's programme will run in the mornings, followed by dialogues at midday and live performances in the afternoon.

The Fingo Festival will run at the Raglan Road Multipurpose Centre and the Raglan Road market square from 1 to 7 July, from 8am to 5.30pm.
