Funda Community College
<p>We are joined today by Simangaliso Sibiya and Bukhosi Nyathi to talk about Funda Community College in Soweto South Africa as well as the exchange programme Decolonial Futures that they organize in collaboration with Framer Framed, the Rietveld Academy and the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Founded in 1984, Funda is one of the oldest independent Black-led institutions in the arts sector of South Africa, established in response to the inaccessibility of specialized training during apartheid. Today, Funda continues to serve as a critical point of access to the visual arts sector for young Black South Africans. Funda’s mission is to provide alternative education for social reconstruction based on the informal, local, as well as indigenous knowledge…and always in support of and response to the community.</p>
