Ms Charz De SoulSista (real name Charlotte Mokoka) is from a small township called Atterigeville in Pretoria, South Africa. A Poet, Writer, Actor, Radio Host and an MC, she discovered her artistic flair in 2008 when she was still in high school. In pursuit of her dream of becoming a performing artist, she later furthered her studies at the South African State Theatre in 2015 as well as at the Joburg Theatre, Duma Ndlovu Actors Academy, in 2019. Over the years, Ms Charz De SoulSista has traveled across Africa doing intercultural programs in places like Cape Town, Rwanda to Ghana, and has performed at much-loved events in Gauteng including Black Labone, Market@thesheds, Sawubona Music Jam, and Home Lounge. Her work has been heard by many, and protests to black South African people through her style of writing and the use of indigenous languages like Sepedi and IsiZulu, as well as English from time to time. She is passionate about storytelling and that’s the uniqueness she brings in her style of poetry and music. Her biggest independent project thus far is an annual kasi tour project through which she contributes her time and talents to different kasi communities through collaborative events. It's called De SoulSista Kasi Tour.

Imagine walking into a room full of people and you see a print of yourself hanging on the wall. Imagine walking into a room and seeing a beautiful quality print of your favourite musician, your favourite DJ, or your favourite music venue to take with and hang in your home. What would you do?Presenting us with never-seen-before-imagery captured over the past couple of years is seasoned cultural photographer, DJ and overall creative, Neo Genevieve Sebothoma. Probably one of the most mysterious photographers and archivists of our time, Neo has afforded the 2nd Annual Sumthin Brown 10-hour Show the privilege of exhibiting and selling her work which, for the most part, has been hidden from the public eye. Even I have never seen the many photographs she's taken of me over the past 3 years
Cop your ticket now! to the show to get a glimpse of her sharp eye for detail.
On the exhibition bill is another talented and easy-going spirit I have come to grow fond of in a very short space of time. Founder and curator of Her Skin Speaks, Palesa-entle is a healer, long-standing nude photographer, record collector and selector, as well as founder of health and wellness line known as Mpande Candles, and she is gifting the 2nd Annual Sumthin Brown 10-hour Show with a special exHERbition titled “What Do We Call Women Who Have Lost Children?”, which highlights the trauma that comes with losing a child/children prior to or post-birth. It’s an attempt to address female trauma on the subject matter, to address what women who have lost children feel, how they see themselves and how they heal.Over the years, Her Skin Speaks’ story and lens has widened and grown. Since their exhibition with Vavasati International Festival at the South African State Theatre in 2019, Her Skin Speaks has hosted exHERbitions in different venues such as The Afrikan Freedom Station, Bifty's in Mamelodi, Cafe What? in Lesotho, U-The Space and MB Studios.
