Art shows to be presented at Moses Molelekwa
"We are aiming to strengthen the art industry in Tembisa to inspire youngsters to see it as a career, not just a hobby."
Lovable Black Sisters (LBS) in Tembisa formed a new Theatre Car Wash and Braai project.
The organisation is inviting community members to their event, which will be held at the Moses Molelekwa Art Centre.
One of the organisers, Ms Zakithi Dladla, said they want to raise funds and take women in the art fraternity to school.
“We are aiming to strengthen the art industry in Tembisa to inspire youngsters to see it as a career, not just a hobby. We want to empower them through education,” she said.
According to Ms Dladla, they are targeting women between the ages of 18 and 35.
“So many artists in the township are discouraged because people do not take the work of artists seriously. This movement will help showcase professional productions to develop the audience and encourage the community to watch and support theatre,” she explained.
“As women, we need to stick together and develop ourselves. Education is the greatest thing we need in this era,” she said.
The group will be hosting a braai with drinks.
“People can watch the artists’ performances at the art centre. We also urge motorists to come and enjoy the theatre while their car gets washed,” she said.
Shows to take part in the event are Last Breath from Pretoria, Munyari Eclipse and several others.
The CRL project will provide entertainment and DJs.
The event will be held from 10am to 10pm.
