Various Roots Events

Providing a platform for creatives to showcase their work with each other, and draw in diverse, new audiences to learn about more artists from their community.

Our events showcase artists of various mediums simultaneously, including both still and live exhibitions & music performances. Our hope is that attendees and exhibitors both walk away with new memories, friends, and most importantly, future collaborators.

Our last event, in Cape Town, hosted by Radisson Red and thrown in collaboration with Unknown Union featured 7 live music performances from leading local musicians and vocalists, still-work from 9 visual artists, live avante-garde makeup showcases from 2 HMU artists, a live portrait studio from an editorial fashion photographer, a local craft gin bar, and performances from hip hop, roller, and ballet dancers.

Giving us all a chance to feel royal, one of Cape Town's finest editorial fashion photography duos, The Seppis, created a concept featuring the upcoming F/W collaboration garment from Various Roots & Unknown Union. The Seppis grabbed guests off of the dance and exhibition floors during the 2018 Creatives Mashup Vol. 2 event and sat them for a portrait in one of our unreleased garments.
