One of Joburg’s most vibrant examples of city regeneration, the student district of Braamfontein (or ‘Braam’ as locals know it) has always been defined by its busy nightlife, a weekend market, cafe culture, hip street fashion and a creative energy that attracts a youthful alternative crowd to the neighborhood. Art is part of Braamfontein's DNA from the edgy Kalashnikovv Gallery at 70 Juta Street and Wits Art Museum, to a number of large-scale public artworks and plenty of colorful graffiti murals that mark the alleyways and buildings. This all adds up to make Braamfontein one of the city’s most creative neighborhoods. Featuring indigenous plants, public art, water features, reflexology paths, and an "earthing mound" for relaxation and connection to nature, serving as a peaceful retreat and cultural landmark with elements celebrating local heritage and biodiversity.
