‘The space was established in order to use art as an essential tool to foster understanding’
Patience Bambalele
Four innovative young people say they established an art gallery in Langa township in Cape Town, Western Cape, to make art accessible to the whole community.
The group says their aim is not only to promote arts in the township but to also develop communities through urban farming.
Known as 16 Lerotholi Art Gallery, the arts space is situated on a popular tourist route.
It was established by Khanyo Ngcukana,27, Mpilo Ngcukana,33, Thulani Fesi,34 and Shaun Williams,38.
The doors were opened in 2019 just three months before the Covid-19 outbreak.
