The HUEMXN team pulled up it’s latest instalment of the Culture Zine Workshop, this time hosted by the intentional and Culture-focused iQHAWE Magazine under the theme Rolling Culture: A Culture in Motion. Held in Johannesburg, the workshop brought together a cross-section of young creatives, storytellers, and cultural drivers committed to shaping what’s next.
The space was filled with sharp minds and bold energy, covering everything from fashion and media to skating culture, creative landscape, entrepreneurship, and cultural identity. Among the speakers and panelists was our very own Andile Masilela, Co-Managing Director of 10and5, who joined a lineup of changemakers shaping South Africa’s creative economy from the ground up.
Andile spoke on the role of storytelling platforms in building cultural legacy and visibility, reminding the room that intention, consistency, and community are the cornerstones of any real movement.
We’re shifting from Street Culture, to Creative Culture, which isn’t a moment, it’s a movement. It’s built over time, through documentation, trust, real platforms and communities that reflect the people” he shared.
On the panel were a group of powerhouse voices across disciplines:
- Creative and skater Day Marumo
- iQHAWE Magazine’s own Anastatia Nkhuna & Renaé Mangena
- Creative entrepreneur Mpumelelo ‘Frypan’ Mfula
- Entertainment and brand sensation Amiraa Shariff
Each brought a unique lens to the conversation, from subculture to storytelling, business building to brand experience. Together, the panel unpacked the ways in which culture is always in motion: fluid, local, and driven by the youth.
The workshop offered more than just dialogue, it delivered access. For the young creatives in attendance, it was a rare moment to connect with leaders actively working in the space, ask real questions, and gain tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Major respect to HUEMXN & iQHAWE Magazine for curating a space that centres young voices and creates room for meaningful exchange. Rolling Culture wasn’t just a conversation, it was a collective moment of alignment, reflection, and motion.
