One of this year’s standout moments at the National Arts Festival came early. A Childhood in Chalk, a moving inter-disciplinary piece from the Drama and Education Departments at Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网, earned an Ovation Award on the Fringe programme.

As the National Arts Festival (NAF) opened its doors to another season of creative brilliance, a performance stood out not only for its musical excellence but for its emotional depth and cultural resonance. Echoes Across Continents: A Musical Journey from Europe to Africa, performed by accomplished pianist and Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 PhD candidate Belinda de Villiers, was a fitting and poignant start to South Africa’s premier celebration of the arts.

Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 deepens its long-standing relationship with the National Arts Festival (NAF) this year with a powerful offering that fuses research, pedagogy, and performance. With Makhanda as its canvas, Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 continues to shape the national cultural conversation through bold, locally-rooted, and globally-relevant work.

Across Africa, a new wave of radio telescope deployments is igniting interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and empowering future scientists.
