Art tackling social issues
Performance art group uses song and poetry to address society's deepest social issues.
Performance art group Art Twenty Four Academy held their monthly Unwind Sessions this afternoon at Protea Glen Hall in extension two.
The group performed a play depicting the struggles youth faced in apartheid schools and how they continue to struggle in post-apartheid South Africa with a myriad of issues such as unemployment, drug abuse and teenage pregnancy.
The group performs what they call edutainment. While their main aim is to entertain, it is also important for them to have educational content embedded in it according to founder of Art Twenty Four Academy, Mlami Maloi.
Attendees were also graced with a performance by former Sarafina cast member, Zee Mabuse, who is now an afro-pop singer.
Art Twenty Four Academy will host their next unwind session at the end of November.
