Challenging Boundaries through the arts

The Cape Cultural Collective has grown from humble beginnings in 2007 to a powerful arts movement.

The Cape Cultural Collective mission is to foster inclusion and unity and promote personal and collective development through the arts.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to promoting equality and justice through our programmes. We recognise the social divides in society and seek to build a shared and active citizenship and humanity.

We do so through the following nine programmes:

Over the last 18 years, we have had several theatre productions at Artscape, hosted arts and human rights workshops, produced two poetry anthologies, did a poetry production in France, appeared on TV and, recently, formed a partnership with Artscape.
