Climate Resilient Development Strategy Framework Season 1 Episode 11

In this episode, Dr Gary Koekemoer and Luvuyo Bangazi take the podcast out to a historical township of New Brighton, the Mendi Arts Centre as part of the project's outreach and stakeholder engagement program. Featuring as guests are WESSA NMB Chairperson, Kevin Taylor, Activist Mike Phantsi, Award Winning Creative, Dolla Sapeta and two members of the CRDSF team, Dr Belinda Thorn and Therese Boulle.

About Dolla:
Dolla was born in 1967, in New Brighton, Gqeberha. Sapeta employs colour, form, and composition to portray an emotional environment rather than the physical one.  He says “My subject-matter is an effort to mirror South African urban realities by depicting myself first as an accomplice and other individuals who exists in this time in this society. The work generally takes refuge in human condition, its truth is arranged from my point of view, this also gives me the opportunity to manipulate the situation and present it in an extremely decontextualized arrangement".
