Just stepping inside and taking a walk through Black Labone is a guaranteed life changing experience. It is more than just the stalls or the live band pumping music through the venue. It’s the preservation of culture, a movement, and a collective appreciation of art.
It is described as a safe space where one gets to be themselves without any inhibitions. It’s a home for the misunderstood and creatives from all walks of life. It also is arguably the only place where you get to witness the growth of your artistry in real time.
It’s a setting that ensures that you will be comfortable enough to share your work without needing to worry about how it will be received. Not only is the audience and the community opened minded, but they also appreciate authenticity and the work that goes into producing art.
Black Labone attracts a community of people that make creation and appreciating creativity easy. It’s a place where you get to form real connections with people that you wouldn’t have the opportunity to interact with in just any setting. The artists are also said to be the currency of Black Labone, they skilfully direct and redirect the narrative of what a creative space really is.
Again, Black Labone is an event like no other. It’s an intimate space that actually allows for a genuine relationship to form between the performing artist and the audience. Every week features a new experience and another chance to fall in love with the arts.
So, if you’re in the mood to holistically change your perception of creative arts and happen to be in Pretoria, visit Black Labone and discover its hidden treasures for yourself.
