Stolen Songs, 2019 -

Hello and Welcome

As a Johannesburg based creative arts practitioner Thuli Mlambo-James came to a realisation that challenges could be efficiently overcome by working in tandem with other creatives, thus she established Ujamaa Arts back in 2018.

With over ten years of Project Management experience, she has worked as an Events Producer for VWV Group SA, Bluemoon Events & Communications and as an Events Manager for organisations such as the South African High Commission in London, furthermore she has worked as an International Media Administrator for MTV UK including Media24 Magazines UK. Upon her return to South Africa, she ventured into the TV & Film Industry working in production for Endemol TV and was a Production Manager for Encounters Documentary Film Festival in Cape Town.

Between 2017 to 2018 she served as a Director of the Bag Factory Artist’s’Studios in Johannesburg, upon leaving the Bag Factory, she pursued an MA in Arts Administration & Cultural Policy at Goldsmiths University, London. However, due to financial constraints, she had to defer, and that’s when all her attention was focused on founding Ujamaa Arts.
