About Us

The AIM Society is a community-rooted arts organisation based in Manenberg, Cape Town. Founded by Darion Adams, AIM stands for Art in Manenberg. We create spaces where stories can be told, healing can take place, and futures can be imagined through the power of performance, conversation, and collaboration.

What began as a small initiative has grown into a dynamic platform supporting emerging artists, hosting community events, and reimagining possibilities for socially engaged art. From dance workshops and physical theatre to public film screenings and critical conversations, AIM builds bridges between creativity and social justice.

OUR pHILOSOPHY 

We believe in the transformative power of art to ignite change. Every project we undertake is an invitation to connect, to reflect, and to act. We honour local voices, indigenous knowledge systems, and use art as a tool to shift narratives, break boundaries, and activate real-world transformation. We understand that community is a collective effort, and art is the bridge that unites us all.

At AIM, we don’t just make art. We make impact. Join us in moving stories forward.
