One People Africa Presents

Innovation through Art

About Us

One People Art Project is an art-centered movement dedicated to fostering a unified African community. Through art, we address issues such as social cohesion and tolerance, creating spaces for dialogue, cultural exchange, and collaboration. Guided by the values of Ubuntu and Harambe, we believe art transcends boundaries to inspire unity and mutual progress across the continent.

The One People Art Project multimedia art initiative explores our shared humanity across cultures, borders, and identities. Through the transformative power of art, culture, community participation, and powerful visual storytelling, the project seeks to remind us that beneath all differences, we are one people.

Meet the Team

Masilo Mafa
Project Director

The heart of the One People Art Project is the belief that every individual has a role to play in shaping a better society, united by our humanity and collective potential to create lasting change.

Benine Van der Walt
Director of Business Development & Operations

Human beings have the amazing ability to achieve the seemingly impossible. The One People Art Project is a beautiful example of what we can achieve when we work together.

 
Thama Ramulongo

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

Honest Mhlanga
Project Coordinator & Artist

We are as paint, a single colour, standing individually in a tube, isolated from the rest and dull. When brought together we build something beautiful, we connect, we blend, we paint a beautiful picture.

Mfana Ka Mabunda
Media & Public Relations Manager

Throughout history, art has been the essence of unity and progress amongst different cultures and communities across the African continent.
