The I Am Somebody! team is off to the USA this week to attend the Marion Institute's Connecting for Change Conference and then to launch Talking About It - a programme developed by Nicole le Roux which creates spaces for white people to explore what it means to be white and privileged.
A few weeks ago, we approached a number of Cape Town artists, crafters, writers, filmmakers and musicians to ask them to donate their work for us to use as thank you gifts in the USA. These gifts are for people who are offering us accommodation, helping us to organise fundraisers, lending us a van, hosting events etc. We had an amazing response from the people we approached, who all immediately agreed to donate their work. They are:
Poets and writers who donated copies of their books:
Shelley Barry
Colleen Higgs of Modjadji Books, who donated 5 Modjaji poetry titles
Filmmakers who donated their DVDs:
Musicians who donated their album:
Crafters who donated their goods:
Debbie Carelse
Gillian Walton
Carly Tanur and Mamelani Projects
Mwila Mambwe
Visual artists who donated prints:
Photographers who donated prints:
Thank you to everyone for your generous support! :)
