Joining us from Jozi this morning is Lindiwe Gugushe!

In this workshop Gugushe explores the principles of design thinking and the importance of applying these principles to create spaces, products and design work that is true to African experiences.

ARTLAB VIRTUAL TALK: The Messy Evolution of the Durban Creative with Bob Perfect and Russel Hlongwane. 💥 Friday 10AM 💥 Google Meet

Crafting a career as a creative in Durban requires tenacity and adaptability, as Russel Hlongwane and Bob Perfect know all too well.

In this VIRTUAL discussion, Russel and Bob take a look back at their evolutions through Durban's creative scene and how they've adapted to an often hostile environment.
Both Russel and Bob have taken unique paths that occasionally intersect. By disecting their different approaches, you should walk away with a few ideas on how to navigate the Durban creative scene for yourself.

Non-ARTLAB participants are welcome to log in and join the google meet:
