Street Talk Video
Artists battle for support in local communities, where voices rarely carry to national levels
Aspiring artistry is frequently undermined or subdued within the environments in which young virtuosos live. Yet, while some feel that they are still afforded a voice within their communities, others argue ‘When it comes to the country, I do not feel like I have a voice at all’.
Community can make or break a country, but in this case, it may be the opposite. Street Talk TV speaks to a group of people about how their needs go unheard amongst community leaders and how their community is failing them.
