And how does the work of activism, political organizing and social movement building require re-imaginings of theatre and performance pedagogy? Join creative social activists Pumelela Nqelenga and Alex Sutherland as they reflect on their work in building communities, coalitions, and collaborations. *Pumelela Nqelenga *is a PhD candidate and a lecturer at the Centre for Theatre, Dance & Performance Studies at the University of Cape Town.

She is passionate about devising theatre in unlikely spaces and has facilitated dozens of original theatre pieces with youth from a street children’s shelter, men in prison, mental health care users in a psychiatric hospital, and young people from poor communities in Cape Town. Her current work involves developing arts-based pedagogies for political education with grass roots movements and organisations, supporting these movements to incorporate the arts in campaigns, education and activism, and facilitating access to the arts for political expression with young people. The conversation will be anchored by co-curator Mwenya B. Kabwe, PhD candidate at the Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies (CTDPS), University of Cape Town. *Mwenya B. Kabwe* is a Zambian-born maker of theatre and performance, facilitator of creative processes, a performer, writer, arts educator and scholar with migrant tendencies.
