WHAT
WE DO
We create spaces and experiences that replenish and inspire the creative impulses of artists, creative professionals and communities alike.
We are driven by a eudaemonic ideal, aiming to deepen the meaning and purpose of creative processes and work.
Performance art
& music platforms
The core of our work is building platforms and bridges that bring people together, through arts programmes and curated experiences. We host workshops, residencies, performances, exhibitions and events which facilitate open and honest communication and foster collective visions of our shared future.
Creative
consciousness
We empower and support artists to produce greater ideation, expression and exhibition of art through programmes, facilitation of workshops and the creation of opportunities for collaboration among artists, including those from previously disadvantaged communities.
Community
engagement
We believe artists are the stewards of public imagination, and that artists who work together and learn from each other can proactively empower societies to evolve and grow in new envisioned creative directions. We believe that art invigorates and enlightens and serves to sharpen social discussion. We support the restoration and flourishing of South African society by fostering meaningful relationships through art.
Diversity
& inclusivity
In the vibrant multicultural context of South Africa, we foster and promote inclusion to affect collaboration between mainstream and marginalised, to generate community engagement and community development, and to create more visibility and support for previously disadvantaged artists and communities.
Youth & early
childhood development
We develop the skills and enrich the education of young artists in creative fields, through workshops, competitions and partnerships with other grassroots organisations. We value and support the holistic development of individuals from early childhood and youth, through exposure to multidisciplinary creative fields.
Expression
of culture
We foster and promote social and cultural cohesion by creating opportunities that are founded upon a sense of empathic communality of participants. We value the expression of culture, including the creation of opportunities for cultural exchange, creating dialogue and understanding of diversity in communities, to help build cross-cultural collaborations and creative cohesion.
