    Imagine we owned our creativity with Tseliso Monaheng

    Black creativity has always been a way of documenting our realities, preserving our identities and making sense of the times we live in. But between media that exoticises the Black experience, audiences that consume without understanding, and an industry that often asks artists to choose between authenticity and making a living, are we slowly losing ownership of our own creativity? In this episode, we sit with filmmaker, composer, writer, and photographer Tseliso Monaheng to unpack the complicated relationship between Black art, culture, and commerce. And if we ruled the world, what would we change about the way African art is valued, supported, and consumed?

    Imagine you saw yourself represented in the media with Aphiwe Mame

    The SA film and television industry is yet to face a reckoning in this country. The collapse of the SABC has left us with for-profit organisations that don't have the mandates that force them to tell stories that are, first and foremost, riveting, but, most importantly, tell real and true stories of the people in this country. Is the role of the media to mirror us, to conscientise and educate, or simply to entertain? Please comment, like, subscribe, and share. Follow us everywhere @theellipsispodcast

    Seeing Freedom from their eyes

    Indlela ibuzwa kwabaphambili In a time when anyone can change how we see history, we MUST commune with our elders. The ones who have seen history unfold. Our living museums full of rich stories and all the facts on our history. I am so honoured to have had the opportunity to commune with my parents to hear of their lives during apartheid and their transition into a free South Africa. What you find when you ask people about their lives, you see how the system was at play whether they are aware or not. And that really is the point of it. I hope this conversation encourages you to have such conversations with your family or even friends, what you hear may surprise you. Please leave a comment, share and subscribe to the podcast.
