Welcome to ARTdacity—a podcast dedicated to contemporary African art. I’m Jo-Ann Strauss, a media professional from Cape Town, and this is my love letter to art and its power to shape our lives.
In a screen-obsessed world, we rarely pause to engage deeply with art. As a mother of four, I see how vital the arts are in shaping well-rounded individuals. I believe art should be more accessible and that African artists deserve greater recognition on the global stage.
Artdacity merges "art" and "audacity"—because embracing art requires boldness. From attending Art Basel and the Venice Biennale to working with Zeitz MOCAA, I’ve explored the evolving role of art. Through this podcast, I invite you to join me in discovering, discussing, and celebrating the impact of contemporary African art.
