WALKING THE HUMANITY TALK 2019

The Women's Humanity Walk, a highlight of the Artscape Women's Humanity Arts Festival started this year at one of Cape Town's most iconic buildings - The Castle of Good Hope....

It opened with speeches and blessings......

.....and stories....

.....good humour, thoughtfulness, mindfulness and spirituality from the leaders of different faiths, brought to us by SAFFI, the SA Faith and Family Institute.

Reminding the walkers of where women are still at in these troubled times, Marlene le Roux, CEO of Artscape took her place above the statue row of kings and leaders......

Chaeli Mycrof (left) of the Chaeli Campaign was there supporting the theme 'Empowering Persons with Disabilities' And The Mama Project was there (above) proud to be taking part in the walk for the first time....

....and there was just time for some memory pics before we hit the streets....

....where the early bird Marshalls had been strategically placed to keep everyone on track.....

......and the banners told the story......

....while wheelchairs rolled out the message.

....and we all walked.....

....guys and girls, mamas and sistahs, young and old....

...even Mother Goose came too....

....till we finally arrived.....

Thanks to the marshalls and the banner bearers (above)...... to the welcoming musicians (right)....to MC Hadley and sign interpreter Lesego (below) (right).....

....and great big thanks to Marlene for opening up the doors of Artscape to us all!

Viva Artscape viva. Viva Marlene viva. Viva Woman Zone viva! See you all next year.
