✨GOETHE INSTITUT ENTANGLEMENT WORKSHOP:✨

It was a privilege to gather in Johannesburg to be part of the Entanglement Workshops Series in South Africa — a week of deep connection, reflection, and exchange with cultural practitioners, heritage stakeholders, and organisations from across the region.

Spending time with partners from the mountains of Lesotho to the shores of the Western Cape, from the Lowveld of Limpopo to the dunes of the Kalahari, we were united by a shared passion for preserving the heritage of our people.

The week closed with a beautiful evening of connection and exchange, reminding us of the power of gathering, dialogue, and collaboration across borders.

We remember the cost of our freedom
and honour those who gave everything.

May we walk for those who no longer can,
and speak for those still silenced — within and beyond.

Let us keep telling these stories,
for the seeds of sacrifice now bear fruit in hope.

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us…”
— Romans 8:18–25 —
