SALUTE Afrikan Goddess
is a multimedia arts event created by two dancers, Nosipho Nos Royale Mkhize
and Nqubeko Cue Ngema, which returns to the Alliance Française de Durban on November 25
from 14h00 to help #SALUTE women of our country and the continent starting off
the 16 Days of Activism against the abuse of women and children.
SALUTE Afrikan Goddess’s
main purpose is to create a platform for unknown Durban artists to showcase
their talents and creative work. In doing so, they hope not only to give their
young colleagues a free platform but in a more social sense through protest
art, they wish to unite the KZN youth (male and female) in celebration of the
beauty and power of women.
With no budget for this event, but only a few supportive
hands, they are grateful to organizations like Alliance Française de Durban who have
opened their doors once again to give them a free venue with a stage and sound.
And with guest visual artists like Xolani Qwabe and Werner Buerkli, musicians
like Black and White, TonyKeather, Randy McLollnn and Quosta Slanka, including
dancers like DK’s Crew,
together with poets and actors, this event has something special for everyone.
