All these values are espoused by the Women’s Humanity Arts Festival whose organisers believe in equality and that the world belongs to all those who live in it. The City of Cape Town is proud to be associated with an event which seeks to promote inclusion and educate the public on the importance of telling the stories of marginalised groups in South Africa. We are indeed proud that Cape Town’s hub of arts and culture, the Artscape will again host the Women’s Humanity Arts Festival where audiences will not only be entertained with the fine arts, but also engage in thought-provoking commentary on human rights issues. Touching on issues affecting women, persons with disabilities and marginalised groups, such as LGBTI persons, the festival is truly a remarkable platform which brings together people from different backgrounds. The City is honoured to support efforts such as these which bring together many diverse and unique talents to tell the stories that need to be told. This goes together with our own efforts of building an inclusive city where we celebrate our talents and what makes us unique and come together, so that everyone feels a sense of belonging in the Mother City. It is through partnerships such as these and a whole of society approach that we can make a greater impact in addressing social issues by taking hands and working together. It is up to all of us to tackle these challenges, especially issues affecting the most vulnerable in society, and to empower our grandmothers, mothers, sisters as well daughters to be able to take care of themselves and claim their rights. I’m also touched that this Women’s Month in August, the festival will celebrate and honour great women who have made a contribution in various facets of society. I would like to commend the organisers for continuing to host the event at such a crucial time in the world, when we need more people to raise awareness and support for marginalised groups within our communities. May the growth this festival has shown over the last 11 years shine throughout the month of August for the all the artists, audiences and organisers. Have a wonderful time in this great city. 2 MESSAGES HRH Princess Celenhle Dlamini Chairperson: Artscape Council On behalf of our esteemed Artscape Council Members, Management and Staff, I would like to welcome and thank you for being a part of our 12th edition, Women’s Humanity Arts Festival. This year is a special one for us as South Africa marks the centenary celebrations for our struggle activist Mama Nontsikelelo, Albertina Sisulu. Ma Sisulu, as she was affectionally known, displayed great courage and is hailed for being a unifying leader during the Apartheid era. In 1956, she was instrumental in leading more than 20 000 women from across South Africa to march to the Union Buildings in Pretoria against the carrying of passes by women. Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival this August is calling on all women from different walks of life to celebrate their relentless work and sacrifices made to build the democratic society we relish today. We will also be honoring Ruth First, anti-apartheid activist, scholar and journalist who was assassinated using a parcel bomb on the 17th August 1982. Our festival theme, “A Spotlight on Cultural Diversity: Transformation & Healing Through the Arts”, will be dedicated to celebrating both iconic women who led the Struggle as well as modern day “She-roes”? who continue to draw attention to significant challenges South African women still face today, such as gender based domestic violence, discrimination in the workplace, disability, homophobia and empowering the girl child. We look forward to you joining us for the various peer-to-peer, inter-generational and inter-faith workshops we will be hosting, as well as the world-class productions that will be staged at Artscape throughout the month. These events will lead up to our Annual Humanity walk that will see hundreds of responsible citizens coming together to celebrate the strides and advocating for improved human and economic rights for women. For the past 11 years, Artscape has developed and strengthened partnerships with stakeholders and partners who have formed an integral part of the success of the annual Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival. In combining arts-centred stage productions with theme specific information, discussion sessions, workshops and health screenings, the annual festival will continue to entrench the principle of restoring dignity and social cohesion in and through the arts. This year will be the 12th edition of the Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival with Humanity as the central theme running from 20 July - 18 August at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town. In 2017 the festival attracted 2000+ members of the general public, which we believe is testimony that we are living up to our objective i.e. making the theatre accessible to the general public. We are honoured to have you be part of this event and wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all involved who work tirelessly towards ensuring the success of our annual Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival. Please join us on 9 August 2018 as we celebrate Women’s Day at the Artscape Theatre Centre. 3 MESSAGES Marlene le Roux Chief Executive Officer Artscape Theatre Centre It is with pride and heartfelt thanks to women from all walks of life – and over a great many years – that Artscape hosts yet another Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival this August to celebrate them and their relentless work encapsulated in the theme “A Spotlight on Cultural Diversity: Transformation & Healing Through the Arts.” Over 60 years ago, more than 20 000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against the pass laws and inhumane Apartheid legislation. Discriminated against, based on the colour of their skin, the pass laws directly affected their personal lives as well as their economic emancipation. Then Democracy dawned, and we identified iconic events that led to our emancipation from the shackles of Apartheid. August 9, the historic day those women marched, was earmarked and declared a public holiday to be henceforth commemorated in honour of women’s struggles towards freedom. The day was to be known as National Women’s Day. Thus, as part of Artscape Theatre Centre’s commemoration of this struggle and in celebration of the strides we have made as a democratic society, the Artscape Women and Arts Humanity Festival will be dedicated to both iconic women who led the Struggle as well as modern day “she-roes.” Those included celebrating the centenary of Albertina Sisulu and the dynamic Ruth First as well as modern day activists through the arts, Lee- Ann van Rooi, Siphokazi Jonas and the late disabled activist, Patience Lunika, who, just last year, had her first fashion show at this very Festival at Artscape and whose contributions to women’s challenges we want to remember. More than 24 years into our democracy, as South Africans, we presumed that, given our civil liberties and Bill of Rights, we would be completely and entirely free to live our lives guided by our founding document, the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. But we must stay abreast of the new set of challenges we, as the citizens of this fledgling Democracy, face. Sexism remains rife. Women are judged on what they wear; lambasted for defying traditional roles – both “African” and “Western”; vilified for entrenching their guaranteed rights, while many are subjected to violence, partner abuse, sexual attacks, rapes and femicide – vile deeds encouraged by patriarchal, misogynist norms that remain deeply entrenched within the male psyche. Unfortunately, many women uphold the aforementioned norms too – something we also hope to highlight during this important Festival. A glance at the enclosed Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival programme (with its stage productions, film, poetry, exhibitions, discussions and workshops) testifies that our theme of shining a “Spotlight on Cultural Diversity: Transformation & Healing Through the Arts” will go a long way to address and ask those pertinent questions like: Where is the struggle for women’s liberation at, at present? In which ways have women’s challenges of modern-day changed? Are our modern-day women empowered and do they honour themselves enough to take up those challenges? Are we steadily working towards the equality that stalwarts like Mama Sisulu, Dora Tamana and of course Tata Madiba so impeccably led? Thank you and enjoy! 4 MESSAGES Thoko Ntshinga Advisor to the CEO: Transformational Projects Artscape Theatre Centre It’s that time of the year again and we pride ourselves with achievements from women all over.

Relying on a strong commitment from the National Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, the theatre now celebrates its Golden Anniversary! Entertainment, arts and culture contributes to the vibrancy, heritage and activation of the Cape Town Metropolitan City as well as the Western Cape Province, and plays an important role in tourism and economic growth. Since being renamed circa 1999, Artscape has provided a modern, contemporary and world-class regional venue supporting arts and culture, and especially local talent. Artscape represents a very special organisation, comprising committed professionals, who are dedicated to the advancement of many different local and international productions in the City of Cape Town and many other parts of the Western Cape Province. Combined with the passion and commitment of major stakeholders both nationally and provincially, Artscape has become a home for all in the arts and will continue to embrace the diverse communities of the Western Cape through performers and patrons. I thank and congratulate everyone who has, over many years, dedicated their expertise, time, effort and passion to continually building this wonderful organisation and making it what it is today.
