The Big Issue #310 meet Vendor Artist Noluthando Batayi

The art theme this month was working with Fire the light and warmth of Cosmic and Earthly fire in the cold and dark of winter within oneself or the outer world.

“Light up the fire of love inside and blaze the thoughts away.” – Rumi

Noluthando Batay has been a Big Issue vendor for many years now. She lives in Khayelitsha Makhaza and has 4 children.

Noluthando likes attending art sessions and enjoys drawing flowers.

She says sometimes when she is stressed after attending art she feels relieved and lighter. She likes drawing flowers because they are beautiful and colourful. She is grateful for the opportunity of the drawing space.

Her painting is titled: “Warmth of Friendship”

The Art sessions are part of The BIG ISSUE Vendor social development programme.

These take place once per month on the day when Vendors are introduced to the latest magazine and have other trainings and workshops. They all happen on the same day so that the Vendors only need to come into the office once.

The Sessions are open to anyone who is keen to participate, there is no judgment on ability or experience.

Each session offers a theme for the Vendors to explore often inspired from nature and reflection on inner qualities and relationships.  The exercises are designed to warm, nurture and allow for free exploration. There are people who attend regularly and there is great joy when the pictures appear in the magazine or are sold. New vendors are encouraged to join in.
