Artscape officially opened its doors , 6 November 2020, for patrons with a remarkable piece of art by acclaimed artist Lizette Chirrime.

Marlene Le Roux, Artscape CEO: ‘The humanitarian acclaimed artist Lizette Chirrime from Mozambique created “The dress of grateful men”. This striking work of art was embroidered by 27 men on a piece of cloth as an expressions of gratitude towards women, to engage in a conversation on various forms of masculinity. Some men are chauvinists, some men do cry. Gender equality is about actions, working towards a society that practice humanity on all levels.’
