The official MOVEMENT BELOVED programme places its artist talk on Thursday 22 October at 18:00 at FNCC Gallery, with free entrance—not Wednesday 21 October. The programme also lists a free community performance on Friday 23 October at 17:00 in Katutura and the main performance on Saturday 24 October at 18:00 at the National Theatre of Namibia.
For Friday and Saturday, ticket-provider and organiser listings confirm High Octane Festival at Tony Rust Race Track, Good Food & Wine at Zest, and the UNAM Choir Concert at UNAM Main Campus. No family pick or business-event pick is promoted in this update without a verified match.
The NUST HDM-4 lecture, Oldies Night, Tea Party 4 Hope and Sunday Village Market were not included: a current organiser-controlled listing for the requested dates could not be confirmed in the sources checked.
