Working Title LIVE ART WEEKENDS at Masambe Theatre presents: ART AS RESILIENCE
Humanity has seen and experienced great suffering in many different forms, yet we find ways in which to continue. We are resilient in overcoming disaster and many unjust situations, often unknown to others. Art inspires people to think, it serves as a conversation starter.
Art evokes emotion, presenting a sense of urgency for change. For this Live Art Weekend artists are given the opportunity to create awareness around unjust situations to create work both personal and communal. A platform to use their art as a tool of resistance.
