\nSteeped in colourful history, the neighbourhood of Mofolo, Soweto was the scene of the first
\never edition of Kaslam Street Art Jam over the weekend of 9 and 10 September. Baz-Art
\ncontributed by supporting the brains and soul behind the project, Mofolo born-and-bred artist
\nSenzart911. Nhlapo, or \u2018Senzo\u2019 amongst his peers, defines his art as African Pop Art and
\nfinds his inspiration in design, architecture and colour<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His initial idea was to breathe new life into the iconic Eyethu Lifestyle Centre, site of the first
\nblack-owned cinema in South Africa.
\nSenzart911: \u201dI wanted to inject more colour to the area by bringing together a group of street
\nartists who were willing to leave their mark on this historical neighbourhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amongst the artists present was Baz-Art-supported Rizah Potgieter who came from Cape
\nTown to contribute to this kaleidoscope of colours. Rizah, or better known by his alias, Prefix
\n66 painted a wall in Mofolo park.
\nPrefix 66: \u201cI loved engaging with the locals who seemed to really enjoy and encourage street
\nart in their neighbourhood.\u201d
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Hennessy Cognac also joined the party by sponsoring the event and bringing inworld
\nrenowned Jon One, the Dominican artist cited as amongst the world\u2019s top 30 street artists.
\nDuring the Hennessy closing party at Zone 6 Jon One gave a memorable live art
\nperformance, showcasing his use of colour and old-school graffiti style. Baz-Art was
\nhonoured to meet such a talented artist and looks forward to collaborating one day.<\/p>\n

\nOur Baz-Art representatives couldn\u2019t leave Johannesburg without taking a detour through
\nthe FNB Johannesburg art fair, one of the most renowned art fairs in the country. A perfect
\nclosing to a vibrant, art-fuelled weekend.<\/p>\n
