Orange Art Meeting 2.0

Daily Prompt: Inheritance
PicsArt_12-14-10.58.25On the corner of Bree and Simmonds in Johannesburg, South Africa, at ESK ROYALS, is where a group of likeminded, creative geniuses met with one purpose, to share their form of art with others. This event, in my opinion, was successful because of the common respect these weirdos had for each other, we all spoke in a language only we could understand and it was refreshing, being in a space where you are understood and accepted because every other artistic being knows the feeling of rejection we get from society.

For this, we thank the main man himself, the guy who puts all these meet and greets PicsArt_12-14-10.53.51together, Alex Sono.
“ I wanted to create a collective nyana you see, like a community of us weirdos, I know a lot of people here that make great art, and I feel like once we like, mingle and like, get to know eachother we can create this community because the problem becomes when I know this person and this person but these two people don’t know each other, someone who makes videos and I know someone who’s looking for a music video and its awkward you know, it’s just weird ”

Orange 2.0 was such a success, that Orange 3.0 should happen in the near future and I, like many others are so excited. If you are an artist of any kind (writer, poet, musician, DJ, painter, drawer…) hit me up, Orange is definitely for you.
To clear the air, Alex Sono chose the name Orange because of the stories his grandmother would tell him about an area called Orange Farm in the East Rand, and his grandmother made Orange Farm seem like the ultimate place to be, which is what he plans to make Orange, the place to be.

Big shout out to Luyanda Dlamini, Exauce Maleba and Troyden Tx. For helping in making this event happen, you guys are amazing, and another shout out to PinkScale Production for taking footage of the entire event.

Alex Sono and Troyden Tx. Plan on releasing their mixtapes in 2018 and Exauce Maleba has a wattpad series, I’ll update the post with his name as soon as I get hold of it.
