EPISODE 2: 'The Girls are the Experts' with Tiisetso Mofokeng

  • Summary

  • Join us as we welcome Tiisetso Mofokeng, a dedicated researcher and advocate for safe public spaces. Tiisetso wears many hats – a Social Impact Entrepreneur, Architect-Urbanist, and Interior Design Lecturer at Vega School. She is also the Founder of THE HUE, a knowledge storehouse. In the realm of 'Girls Make The City', Tiisetso serves as an urbanist researcher, taking on roles as a facilitator, and community liaison, and documenting the project progress alongside Suné Stassen.

    Tiisetso's dissertation, which focused on the safety of public spaces in Nyanga, a township in Cape Town, provided critical insights that captured the attention of Joke and her team. This led to Tiisetso joining the Girls Make The City initiative in Cape Town.

    In this insightful conversation, Tiisetso guides us through the potential of townships, with a special focus on Langa. We explore the creative solutions generated by the girls themselves and delve deep into Tiisetso's research.

    Discover the interactive activities and transformative insights gained from the participants, highlighting why these conversations are vital and how the 'Girls Make The City' process is reshaping the narrative for public spaces.

    Join us as we uncover the power of local knowledge, the significance of genuine stories, and the impact of reclaiming public spaces in Langa.

    Tiisetso's passion for change and her unique perspective promises an engaging and thought-provoking episode. Tune in to explore the depth of these conversations and understand the profound impact on reshaping the narrative for public spaces.
