After the Fall is a community-rooted initiative in Vrygrond, Cape Town, transforming a section of a local creche—a rare green space—into a fully functional clay and pottery studio.
The fundraiser for the Greenhouse Clay Studio for single mothers in Vrygrond township - is the series of Clifton ZERO Ecstatic Dances in Cape Town.
Some gatherings are just parties. This one is a movement towards repair. Clifton ZERO beach events dedicated to dancing differently —in reverence to the land, in honesty with ourselves, and in solidarity with women whose creativity has been historically dismissed, ignored, or exploited.
This time, every step in the sand supports the birth of a clay studio for single mothers in Vrygrond township — a space where art, healing, income, and dignity manifest.
Your presence becomes part of building that future.
