FuTopia Welcome Note
"Dear Festival goers, music diggers, foodies, handcrafters, upcyclers, socialites and lovers of moments where time seems to stop, and all our senses become alive."
I’m delighted to welcome you all to the 2nd Edition of FuTopia Festival - a celebration of creativity, culture and community, where portals to the future open and create encounters, experiences and memories that fuel our social, creative and artistic batteries and inspire us to do something meaningful and responsible with our time on this beautiful planet.Born into a city of opportunities, diversity and natural serenity, FuTopia’s first edition gave a glimpse into what can be created when we work on creating special moments, hand-in-hand, leaving space for everyone involved to breathe, create and shape what those moments - moments that shape our future – will entail.A busy beehive of people crafting, nourishing themselves, offering artisanal and handmade goods, playing, laughing and dancing together.Moments that linger long after they happen, moments that create meaning, belonging, community. The second edition builds on this experience, expanding the vision of creating a space open for collaboration, expression and innovation.A blank canvas during the day, filled by the contribution of our Zone managers who create and open the portals to the future, filled with activities, precious goods, games, music, food and laughter.As night falls and the sky comes alive with colours and sound, special guests from Zanzibar, Tanzania, Burundi, South Africa, Mexico and Chile will take us into sonic worlds that might be new to our ears, but will definitely fill our hearts!Come with an open heart, open mind and curious ears, let’s shape our future together!
