When thinking about a name for this anthology, it was hard to find a single phrase that would come close to assembling all that the writers collected here are – and what they represent as most of them go beyond definition.“We Are” is simple, precise and will prompt you to ask who, exactly are we? apart from their role as writers, the artists collected here tell their stories in various ways and represent diverse societal courses:
As gender and social activists, journalists, filmmakers, actors, playwrights
and musicians, among others. Therefore, we are all that we can be without limits. As poets, we are reflections of the words we write, therefore moulding memories and tomorrows that never fail to turn up.

We are is an attempt to let you into issues prominent in the environ-
ment and minds of some of South Africa’s most talented and experienced
artists. They are young, but experienced, because of their
poetic expression. So they publish their work, perform locally
and internationally, create workshops around literature, engage
with the community, and record their performances with background
music, among other exciting efforts.
