#iAm This is not a simplistic notion. In South Africa, identity, race, gender and culture in the
context of PURPOSE is big!
In our quest to challenge the conventional way of thinking, enthusing both life affirming and challenging concepts, never before have we been more aware of the expressed need for the people of our city to find the triggers leading to PURPOSE.
#iAm investigates ideas beyond identity politics towards potential, purity, possibility and radical empowerment for communities. We need to ask interesting questions about being and existence, not the same old.
#iAm is about being and becoming against LIFE’s canvas of geographics, sociology, super tech and design, arts, jobs, my space, emotional and belief systems, environment, stewardship, ownership and responsibility, green vs industry, Africa and her history and more.
