Today is the final day of the Theatre Renaissance Cabaret Festival. The first few days have full of captivating local and international performances. It has been striking to see how different nationalities interpret theatre. Come through to Madsoc for the final day!

"Our stories are important for our identity and independence. Theatre is a tool for so much; we depend on this." Powerful words from Sadok Aïdani (Le Théâtre Unifié, Tunisia) at last night's opening ceremony.
Join us at Madsoc today for Day 1 of the festival!

A topic close to my heart: authentic storytelling.
@kylemalanda speaks passionately about it, and our conversations are always so grounding. Looking forward to this one. 💛

The one piece of advice I can give Malaŵian visual artists is:
Your portfolio shouldn’t just be recreations of characters from other people’s work. Collectors, funders, and institutions don’t want to see how well you can redraw Dragonball Z. They want to see YOUR voice.
