ABOUT THE HUSTLE
Live SA and British Council Connect ZA bring the next instalment of our popular Creative Hustles event series in Cape Town in partnership with lifestyle concept store, Boaston Society, and creative collective, Jam that Session.
The hustle will take over Boaston Society’s space in Long Street in Cape Town on Thursday 27 November and feature a panel discussion with young people and brands who are making waves in street culture.
Panel
- Boaston Society founder Elisha Mpofu @boastonsociety
- Jam That Session co-founder Obie Mavuso @JamThat_Sesh
- Head Honcho Clothing founder Nick Kaoma @nick_kaoma
- 2Bop Clothing co-founder Anthony Smith @2bop
- Illustrator and graphic designer Clara Ilena @ClaraIlena
- AndPeople lead creative Kim Smith
- Hashtag Radio and SABC 2’s Roughing It Out presenter Vuyolwethu Dubese @VDubese (Facilitator)
Look out for live performances from hip hop artist Andy Mkosi (@AndyMkosi) and backpack emcee Sabz (@SabzaMK), an interaction with a live street art wall by Clara Ilena as well as merchandise from pop up stalls.
The hustle seeks to answer questions about:
- who determines what makes up street culture?
- how street culture and the wider creative sector work alongside each other, or, is it all the same?
- is there a way to merge top end creative movements with pop up kasi street culture?
- whether street culture lends itself more to collaborations with new or established brands?
- how technology has facilitated greater access to global street culture?
Presented by Live SA and British Council Connect ZA, Creative Hustles are an event series for 18-to-35-year-olds, providing a platform for up-and-coming creatives to connect and build relationships with established industry professionals.
