South Africa

Afua Hirsch discovers new art, music and theatre in South Africa’s townships as she explores creativity emerging in amapiano dancing, hair braiding and black surf culture.

In South Africa, once notorious for racial segregation under the apartheid regime, Afua Hirsch finds a country in transition, with a new creativity emerging from the roots up in the townships as the once-oppressed reclaim their art scene. She explores how far this process is driven by what locals call ‘ekasi’, the street-cool of the townships.
