South Africa is facing extreme pressure with the Fees Must Fall Movement. Once students graduate in the arts from tertiary education institutions, how aware are they of the industry they have chosen as a career? The Master Class #2 will demystify that with no sugar coating.
IKS Consulting & Promotions has teamed up with Mollo wa Ditshomo, a 40 artist member youth Cooperative based in Soweto, and the Institute for African Innovation.
At the Funda Community College on 26 November 2016, they will host the Arts Master Class #2 as a follow up to the introductory Master Class that took place on 22 October 2016.
This panel discussion is a much needed intervention in an industry where many artists resort to self-destructive tendencies due to the depression arising out of struggling to make a living using their craft.
Many accomplished creative industry businesses lack an interest in youth social service and are mostly interested when there is financial gain.
Issues of magic, deception, money, addiction and idols will be addressed in the following program:
