The sixteenth Feather Awards lit up Johannesburg in a spectacular celebration of inclusivity, courage, and boundless unity. THE FEATHER AWARDS THEME This year, the theme of ‘Borderless Existence’ took centre stage. It highlighted the power of breaking down barriers, according to Fashion Force Africa.
It honoured not only the LGBTQIA+ community but extended recognition to differently-abled individuals and minority groups often overlooked. The awards night, held at the trendy Sheds, was a rainbow of personalities and performances. THE FEATHER AWARDS SHINE ON A RAINY NIGHT Heavy rain couldn’t dampen the night; instead, it became part of the celebration, with attendees joking about starting fashionably late.
The theme inspired a diverse lineup of nominees and winners who embody courage, creativity, and resilience, according to Actor Spaces. From groundbreaking activists to entertainment icons, each individual honoured has taken significant strides to amplify voices that are too often silenced. THE FEATHER AWARDS HOSTS Dineo Langa, Khaya Dladla, and Andiswa P Gebashe hosted the event.
They did so alongside Pink Carpet stars Ayanda Makuzeni and Tumi Powerhouse, who brought charm, energy, and style. The programme dazzled with heartfelt tributes, stirring performances, and proud declarations of achievements. Winners across various categories stole the spotlight with their inspiring work.
