HIFA — Harare International Festival of the Arts

The festival

Founded in 1999, HIFA — Harare International Festival of the Arts — has long transformed the centre of Harare into a capital of living arts, between music, theatre, dance, poetry, visual arts and cinema. The festival brought together the talents of Zimbabwe and artists from all over the world, and there remains a reference for African multidisciplinary festivals. After a long interruption since the pandemic, its organizers are preparing to return and say they are working to give it lasting foundations.

While waiting for its revival, Harare keeps the memory of a week when the whole city breathed in the rhythm of the scenes.
