WOZA MOYA ARTIST OF THE MONTH: FEBRUARY

(Right: “Colourful Tradition” by Jose Masango)

Woza Moya Artist’s Wall and Artist’s Cards wish to create and showcase work for artists who have been hard hit by Covid. Each month a different Artist is paid to paint a 1,2m x 1,2m wall panel which is displayed on the wall outside the Woza Moya, Hillcrest AIDS Centre shop.

Woza Moya is the economic empowerment project of the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust.

Artist for the month of February 2022 is Jose Masango - self-taught artist whose painting Colourful Tradition is an eclectic mix which was inspired by the beauty of traditions and how traditional attire is worn with pride. Jose loves colour and this painting is a celebration of colour.

Woza Moya assists the artist by marketing their work for the entire month their work is on display. A greeting card is made of the painted wall panel and sold in their shops so that artists can earn an ongoing passive income. This has worked well with artists earning from R200 to R1,000 a month from the sale of the cards. The painting is for sale and people can bid for the painting, bidding starts at R1,500 at the start of each month, bidding will close at the end of the month and the person who has the highest bid gets to purchase the painting.

The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust is situated at 26 Old Main Road, Hillcrest. For more information contact +27 31 765 5866 or visit https://www.wozamoya.co.za/contact/
