ABOUT

Artivist presents Beijing Opera Pop-Up Weekend


Chef Yang Zhao is technically one of the first chefs to have cooked in the Artivist kitchen, Beijing Opera hosted a once off pop up dinner in September 2017 where some of Yang's closest friends discovered Artivist and Untitled Basement. We recalled the impact that Beijing Opera made on the food scene when it put Dim Sum on the South African culinary map in mid 2010's Cape Town, via a series of pop-ups and eventually a permanent space in De Waterkant (closed in 2017 when Chef Yang moved to Joburg).


Artivist and BO have since collaborated on a few small engagements, we always knew that a day would come when we would expand on our spontaneous pop-up night to something a bit more indulging... like this series of of Dim Sum concept culinary experiences.


This is much more than food to Beijing Opera, it's very much about the culture narrative, about experiencing the diversity of people and community building through food and social settings. More stories and narratives to come... but for now, without further ado... here is the program line up:


Chef Yang has collaborated with a long time friend and Chef Ali Majija to design a bespoke 6 course "and more...", Asian style street food tapas set menu. Artivist bar tenders are experimenting with eclectic blends of eastern and African mixology as an attempt to pair with the menu.

Expect laid back vibes, great food, good company, the way we've come to love good times at Artivist.


Food and drinks prepared with love by Team BO and Artivist.
