What you'll be doing
Over 4 days of live sessions, you will explore how South Africa’s cultural diversity and distinctive social and political history has led to the development of a unique brand of artistic responses to the challenges it faces. Through various forms of expression (including music, dance, theater, fine art, and street art) art has been a voice to the voiceless and informed social transformation. During this programme you will gain insight into the historic and ongoing socio-political and cultural change in South Africa and the ways in which the arts respond to – and manifest – these changes. Working closely with local artists, activists, and academics, you will discuss the transformative and connective capacity of the arts and how they shape your own culture and identity.
