The CCC and Artscape have been working closely together in recent years, connected by our common goals.

The CCC fully supports Artscape’s misson of building inclusive arts and culture spaces for people in the City and beyond.

In 2017 we hosted our 10th anniversary at Artscape and this was followed by two annual productions, the second one on the life and times of Imam Adullah Haron, a freedom fighter who was killed in apartheid police detention in 1969. Covid interrupted our work, but in the ensuing years, the CCC placed much effort in getting our members and supporters to attend Artscape programmes as part of our Performing Arts Access and Support Programme. We also participated in events such as the Women’s Festival and the Voices in Unity concert during Heritage Month.

This year, we took this collaboration to a new level. Working with Artscape staff, we initiated a Sunset Poetry and Jazz session, which had its inaugural event on 30 September 2025. Artscape began making small venues available for some of our meetings and choir practices.
