Chapter Two: Obusitswe Seage

05 May 2019  |  yajap.org
Obusitswe Seage, an aspiring artist in the small town of Orange Grove, Johannesburg, dreams of making it big in the arts and culture world. He is well-known locally and is mentored by Dr. Myer Taub, a lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand. The town contrasts with nearby Maboneng, which has undergone gentrification and become a hub for the art scene. Despite the challenges of urbanization and competition, artists like Seage and photographer Sandile Mdlalose find ways to express themselves and earn a living. Nondumiso Sithole, a community development manager at the Johannesburg Theatre, supports the growth of the arts scene, though she doesn't consider Johannesburg her home. The creative economy in South Africa is significant, but many artists still struggle financially. Seage finds solace in his art and the ungentrified spaces of Orange Grove.
