Filmmaking
We have created short films and documentaries on diverse socio-economic issues, including gender equality, a series on the 16 Days of Activism and LGBTIQ rights.
Lesotho
Winner of the Jury Prize at Lesotho Film Festival 2019, ‘Lesotho’ is a music video featuring Rex Jiffy, Vertic Zee, Black Dash, Women Of The Well, Meloh & Sadon expressing their thoughts on the current political and socio economic situation in the country. This music video is a result of workshops at The Hub in Morija, including a song writing workshop with Sadon and a music video workshop led by Pheello Pj Makosholo.
#TotalShutDown Lesotho
The Hub partook in the #TotalShutDown march against Gender Based Violence in Maseru, Lesotho on August 1, 2018. The #TotalShutdown march in Lesotho took place simultaneously with similar marches in eSwatini, Botswana, Namibia and all nine provinces of South Africa – as hundreds of women across Southern Africa joined forces to protest gender-based violence and to demand concrete action from political leaders.
WordPower Magazine
We continue to work at the intersection of arts and activism. WordPower is our weekly programme that fosters a love of reading and writing amongst participants, and strengthens overall reading, writing and linguistic skills.
We’re excited to see how the young writers tackle a number of pressing themes – including Covid-19, climate change, conservation and gender-based violence. These short stories and poems also delve into everyday life in contemporary Lesotho, with some beautiful descriptions of family, friendship and love.
These magazine showcase the best pieces of creative writing to emerge from our activities!
Photography
We have showcased our work through several exhibitions in partnership with the Alliance Francaise de Maseru, and are currently working on an upcoming exhibition on Climate Change and Environmental Issues, in partnership with the European Union.
