In 2008, a mighty evolutionary leap occured in my life. This was the year that i would learn to make collectives (DC and CCC), create art installations at a UN conference, and work with the Durban municipality on future city planning projects. At that UN conference, my key project was the ‘putting the UN in June‘. Project jUNe.2008 pivoted around the KwaSpace, a magical and vibrant Durban urban theater with an expansive courtyard, where we hosted evening events and strategic meetings. The space brought together many youth representatives from around the world and created many lasting friendships and encouraged many creative collaborations.
This idea of space and people, and investigating their relationships in terms of producing creative and cultural goods and outputs, evolved organically , like a tender slender vine through time, to yield an unforeseen flower in late 2011. The COP17 Circus arrived in town, and like St Eve (pictured below), i was keen to make some noise and get involved in my hometown.
Back in Durban after many star and fire-filled moons with the Natures Valley WildSpirit community, St.Eve and i fulfilled our promise to each other, made around those same fires and stars in Natures Valley in early 2010, and were now both assembled in home town Durban, to help with the resistance around the COP17 conference. From our early vantage point (in time), we saw many creative and active forces arriving to Durban and in need of a support structure. Accordingly, we created a supportive environment by setting up spaces, systems and collectives in a network that needed a physical work/sleep/connect space to center itself around. And thus, the House was born.
