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.
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.
The Cape Cultural Collective presents the Poetry & Jazz Sunset Session on Thursday July 23 at the Artscape Theatre’s Innovation Lounge, from 7pm to 8.30pm. Vusumuzi Mpofu and Eugenia Zantoto will host the concert under the theme "We Are Here Together: A Mandela Month Gathering of Shared Stories and Rhythm". It moves away from a traditional recital, unfolding instead as a collaborative set between the poets, vocalists and live band.
