Keleketla!

Project Space . Residency . International Exchange . Public Art . Media Arts

Keleketla! is a Pedi word which functions as a response to the beginning of a story, a signal that one is attentive and engaged. It is some kind of an acknowledgement and a consent that ‘I am here, willing to listen to your story with active participation’. Keleketla community resource centre started in February 2008 as Keleketla! Library as a once off collaboration between Bettina Malcomess, the innacitycommunity collective and the Joubert Park Project artists collective. The library is a quiet space in the middle of the noise of Johannesburg that provides access to cultural resources and a forum in which to respond to them. Its aim is to begin to foster cultural literacy through encouraging personal, free engagement with books, art, music and film. Keleketla! Works with both local ad international artists on projects which are shaped around the space and people of the inner city of Johannesburg.
