Join this panel discussion, hosted at the brand new Dibuke Cafe. The Creative20 is a movement. In November 2025, South Africa will be host to the G20 Summit, where thousands of global leaders across industries will descend to the tip of Africa to discuss global economy, politics, climate, business, diplomacy, cooperation, and many other issues.

This unique and powerful force will be hosting a panel discussion, bringing unique perspectives to the fore and allowing public participation.

As the Creative and Cultural Industries, we want to be prepared for this moment. And the Creative20 is a response to that. We often wake up after crucial conversations have been had, trying to figure out what happened, struck by a deep post Summit hangover with nothing to show for it. Not this time. This time we must be ready.

But Creative20 is more than just about the Summit. We exist for something much bigger. We exist to enable global creative economic prosperity, facilitating for better outcomes for creativity and creative practitioners.

Our first step is to rally creatives and supporters of the arts, around the “Creativity is our Superpower” pledge, which can be found on https://chng.it/K8pWhzDN9L . We are aiming for 10 000 pledges, to organise creatives behind a single moment, idea and project. The reason for the pledge - to have the Creative20 recognised as an official engagement group, like the B20, W20, SU20 and Y20. That recognition will enable us to elevate ourselves on the global agenda.

Thato Setagane is a Johannesburg-based artist whose upcoming exhibition, "Painting with Light" at Dibukafe in Play, Braamfontein, explores the interplay of illumination and atmosphere within urban and intimate spaces. Through layered light-responsive media or installations, Setagane invites viewers to engage with shifting perceptions and the subtleties of radiance in everyday environments. Drawing from local narratives and ambient textures, this exhibition aims to illuminate how light shapes our experience of space and community.
