Faye Kabali-Kagwa is a cultural curator, arts coordinator, and writer with a keen focus on youth voices. In 2023 Faye was the curator for the Cradle of Creativity Festival which took place in Johannesburg and featured 27 productions from South Africa and abroad. In her work with ASSITEJ South Africa she runs the Unlocking Learners’ Creativity project in the Western Cape, as well as heading the 10Children project, amongst others. Faye was named one of the Mail & Guardians Top 200 Young South Africans in 2021. She has an uncanny ability to read the pulse of the cultural zeitgeist and builds interventions that go beyond artistic output and is interested in audience as engaged contributors to her work. Faye’s writing has included reflecting on contemporary theatre and their commentary on land reformation, same-sex schools and coded patriarchy as well as reminiscing on important ephemeral cultural spaces. Faye has been published in the Mail & Guardian, New Frame, and Culture Review.
