DRILL HALL
Built in 1904 on the ruins of a “native prison,” the Drill Hall presents a fascinating story within Johannesburg's and the country's contradictory social, military and political shifts. Always a base for military forces, it housed the infamous Treason Trial in 1956. It witnessed the dramatic changes of post apartheid Johannesburg, burned down in 2001 and has been rebuilt as a multi-use heritage site, shared by national reserve forces, social organisations and the JPP.

POINT BLANK
The Point Blank Gallery forms the headquarters of the JPP and is part of the Drill Hall precinct. It has been the platform for multi-disciplinary events, exhibitions, workshops and presentations that have drawn very different audiences. We invite proposals to make use of the space and contribute to the overall vision for theDrill Hall as a cultural hub and heritage site.

SCHEDULE
We have one night performances, installations, poetry sessions and book launches, snowball fights and workshops in visual literacy and photography. For past and planned activities and programmes at the point blank download below.
