Hannelie Coetzee - a Johannesburg based visual artist and honorary research fellow at the global change institute. Her relational practice regularly centers on public spaces, where she produces interventions that range from ephemeral to permanent. Originating out of her respect and concern for the environment, Coetzee employs public experiments on nature-based solutions, most often built out of reclaimed industrial waste, to form unlikely partnerships including with the surrounding land.
Hector Dibakoane: A dreamer, storyteller and cultural curator led by passion, purpose and love with an overall ambition to change the narrative for African youth and how the world views the city of Johannesburg. Driven to create platforms and safe spaces for young people to engage in their passions, pioneering a culture of thriving artists.
The talk will be followed by the presentation of the works in progress by the residents.
