Many might look at the politics of the country to see how far it has gone, compared to its previous administrations. However they are mistaken. The arts are one way to see just how the country is faring. The arts have always been a social commentary on what is happening in society, hence the phrase “art imitating life“.
Twenty-seven years into our democracy, where do we fair? The honest answer is we could do so much better. The arts are almost always an afterthought, are not given the attention needed and this causes us to lag behind the rest of the world.

Focused on imagining a future by embracing new ways of doing things, while exploring and sharing creative skills and deepening cultural understanding of each other, the attendees walked away with insight on how to celebrate a future they imagined, just as those in the past imagined the present we are living in now. Attendees were encouraged to use creativity to chart a new course for themselves in South Africa.
