Special Projects
2Roads Foundation extends its impact beyond the residency through a series of collaborative special projects that connect art, education, leadership, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. These initiatives demonstrate the foundation’s belief that cultural development is strongest when it is embedded in wider social ecosystems.
Dlala Nje & The Pathfinder Hub
Launch • May 8, 2025
Two Roads Foundation is proud to partner with Dlala Nje, officially launched the Pathfinder Hub at Ponte City Apartments—a dynamic community project that challenges perceptions and creates unique inner-city immersions. This collaboration aligns with our goal of fostering meaningful community engagement through art and culture.
Through this partnership, we support initiatives that connect our resident artists with local communities, fostering dialogue, mutual understanding, and collaborative creative projects. It's about taking art out of the gallery and into the heart of the community.
