I have been trying to think for a while now, a way to put this out there, as much as I am very excited about it, I am nervous too.
The positive feedback that I have received about the blog has inspired me to extend the platform by starting an initiative which will be a platform for the emerging creatives to showcase their work. One of the things I loved about staying in Cape Town was the culture of art in the city and moving back home made me realise that there isn't much of that culture here, I could go on further elaborating that but that would be a chat for another day.
What I want to see one day is creatives in this city, in the province having a network, having a space that is not exclusive to showcase their work, growing and inspiring people through their art, being advocates of culture, educating and preserving our culture and heritage. I want to see people having the enthusiasm for a museum night opening, an art festival, a play in theatre, you name it. Right here at home. So this is what I am putting my energy on right now and I am very excited about it. I could explain it in so many ways but even for myself it goes deeper and allowing myself to evolve with time and exploring my creativity has been one of the greatest experiences.
The initiative which is a series of monthly pop up art exhibitions is launching soon, it will be taking place in Port Elizabeth. More details about it will follow.
