“Write the essay your grandchildren will need. Record the song that will outlast you. Endow the chair. Fund the residency. Donate the archive your mother left in a box in the garage. When its doors open in 2028, the TMPC will be one of the places where this work is gathered and transformed into something the continent can use to catalyse the African Renaissance. We will need many more such institutions, in dialogue with one another, building the continental conversation that no single institution can sustain on its own.” — Lukhanyo Neer, COO, Thabo Mbeki Foundation As we mark Youth Month, our focus turns to culture, the arts, and music as vital contributions to our collective granary of knowledge and memory. The African Renaissance is not only shaped by policy and economics; it is also carried in songs, stories, archives, performances, and works of art. By creating, preserving, and sharing these cultural treasures, we ensure that the voices, experiences, and aspirations of our people remain part of the continent's evolving narrative. webtickets.co.za/v2/event.as… @dmandisi @kumasote
