Our Story ​

We are a collective of young creative entrepreneurs working together to create an inclusive platform for connecting and building with like-minded creatives.

Let me tell you a little secret...

The brainchild of Ishmael Ndizeye, whom was later joined by Mandilakhe Somdle. Together Host several events of which some are collaborations with other creative collectives. Events such as Markets, Exhibitions, Fashion Runways, Workshop and other activities aimed at bringing people together.

Pop-Up Collab was born from the idea of creating inclusive spaces, where opportunities are shared in abundance with no gatekeeping. We are the Dreamers, Outcasts, the Rebels, the ones that don’t fit into normal boxes society imposes on us, therefore we create our own spaces to connect, educate and build businesses we love and enjoy. 

 

Our culture is rooted in the philosophy of the Japanese IKIGAI, which states that you should do what you love, what you’re good at, what you can be paid for and lastly what the world needs. We believe the power to change the world exist with creatives, that is why our mission is to equip as many creative people with entrepreneurial knowledge so they may create a better  world and collaborate with likeminded people to work together building the world as they see fit. 

if we sounds like your type of people, don’t hesitate to connect and join any of our events.
