I’m joined by Zain Nazier, who leads the Norval Foundation’s education program, and Evaan Jason Ferreira, a Zeitz MOCAA UWC Fellowship alumni, both of whom are shaping the future of art accessibility. Zain shares how art became his lifeline, helping him navigate dyslexia and trauma, and how he now fosters creativity in young minds. Evaan reflects on the impact of the Zeitz MOCAA fellowship, opening doors for aspiring art professionals. From hands-on workshops to mobile museums, we discuss why art education is vital for self-expression, identity, and opportunity. Join us as we explore how investing in art education can empower the next generation of African artists and thinkers.
