#Brixton - 22 posts

I recently went to the Northcliff branch of Makotis, an iconic Joburg fabric shop. It's a great option for those who don't feel like trekking to town.

For the past month, Thorsten and I have been training with Dennis Dlomo's Fitness Club in Kingston Frost Park, Brixton.

Brixton, a.k.a. Brixie -- a cat named after a suburb -- left the world far too soon last Friday night. Here is our memorial to her.

The 2023 edition of the Brixton Light Festival was even bigger, better, and more soul-nourishing than the 2022 edition.

Yola Minnaar, a cook and community leader, makes and sells koesisters, a Cape Malay specialty, from her kitchen in Fietas, Johannesburg.

On Youth Day, the Brixton community held a spinning demonstration and fashion show/market to warm up for the Brixton Light Festival.

A new cat, Brixton, has joined the Blogitect household. We call her Brixie for short. Trixie is still getting used to her.

Thorsten and I -- aka the Blogitects -- are leading a fun arts and architecture walking tour through Brixton on 12 November.

I attended a service at St. Nicholas of Japan, an Orthodox church in Brixton. The service was beautiful and got my mind off current events.

I recently moved from Melville to Brixton, which sounds like it's not really a big deal but actually it is.

On Sunday morning I stopped by the Brixton Cemetery to take pictures of a cleanup event led by Friends of Johannesburg Cemeteries.

On Saturday night I attended the Brixton Burn, a dance performance followed by the burning of a wooden sculpture beneath the Sentech Tower.
