FACE Fe(male) Activation through Creative Empowerment
Female Activation through Creative Empowerment (FACE) is a pilot female empowerment project initiated Hlumelo Theatre. FACE and Hlumelo Theatre have Non-Profit Status. top 2005 Ansisters Theme The FACE project aims to equip women to find and establish their authentic power through a creative journey that has as a point of departure the theme of Ansisters. The Ansisters theme will find expression in 2005 through a creative constellation event celebrating the women, the mothers, the great mother earth and her daughters, exploring female lineage, be it biological, spiritual, intellectual or cultural. Workshops with predetermined female audiences will take place before, during and after the constellation event, using the unique Hlumelo theatre empowerment teqniques. top FACE Initiators Eugenie Grobler, Anni Snyman and Nolene Nel. top Vision and Values FACE wants to reinstate authentic female power, not only from a gender perspective but also through emphasising the effect of balancing the scales between male and female ways of being. The FACE project is fundamentally rooted in a female value framework that finds it’s origin in Ubuntu, a traditional African system of values that reflects the qualities that has been named and accepted within the Western mindset as traditionally female. top Partners The FACE concept was born with the idea to create a platform for the convergence of related initiatives and is continuously seeking opportunities for more partners to become involved. To date the following organisations and community groups have partnered to participate in Ansisters: Boitumelo Sewing Project
A womens arts and crafts community project.
