Eduvos Graphic Design Students To Exhibit at AVIJOZI Festival.

Post by Eduvos, September 12, 2023.

Eduvos is excited to be part of this year’s AVIJOZI Festival on 16 & 17 September. The festival, organised by Chocolate Tribe in partnership with Netflix, promises a fun-filled weekend showcasing the best in visual arts and design.  

Established in 2022, AVIJOZI has become a platform for creatives and organisations to share expertise, collaborate, and network. The two-day event will provide a platform for career opportunities in the creative industries, networking with like-minded individuals, and finding professional mentors who can offer guidance and support in your creative journey. Most importantly, come and have fun with young talents like yourself in Artificial Intelligence, Animation, and Visual Effects (VFX). 

AVIJOZI connects creatives, technicians, software developers, AI researchers, artists, writers, students, VFX and animation studios, and industry enthusiasts from South Africa and beyond. 

We realise that these connections will unlock unique opportunities for our students and help pave the way for successful careers in the creative industry. Therefore, we will have a dedicated exhibitor stand at this year's event, highlighting the design talent of our Graphic Design department. We will feature live demonstrations from our top-performing Graphic Design students from our four largest campuses Bedfordview, Pretoria, Midrand and Tyger Valley. Festival goers will be able to engage with our design students and learn more about our accredited qualifications and other campus locations across South Africa. 

Solomon Bakare, National Head of Humanities at Eduvos, says, "At Eduvos, graphic design, and visual art education ignites imagination, fosters critical thinking, and nurtures a profound appreciation for the world's beauty. Our students can transcend the halls of the classroom and seek the deeper meaning behind their crafts. As educators, we are responsible for providing the platforms where students can uncover curiosity and innovation and embark on a lifelong journey of design and discovery”. 

“We are exceptionally proud of our graphic design talent at Eduvos, “says Judith Evans, Graphic Design Programme Manager at Eduvos. She adds, “AVIJOZI is an excellent opportunity for our students and upcoming artists to showcase their work, and the exposure to industry experts will foster positive relationships, mentorship, and recruitment opportunities.” 

Join Eduvos at AVIJOZI on Saturday, 16 September (09:30 am to 6 pm), and Sunday, 17 September (10 am to 5 pm). The festival will occur at the University of Johannesburg Arts Centre, APK campus. Tickets to the festival are free, sign up here.
