Welcome to ExisTenZ! We are a community dedicated to discussing philosophy and art. Based in Mangaung, South Africa, and beginning in 2022 with small, in-person meetings, we’ve since moved online to better accommodate our members across the country and the globe. Our sessions are open to the public and admission is free. You need only show up and share in the conversation.
Coming Next:

More than the words in dusty ol’ books, philosophy is a way of looking at the world. To illustrate this, we will look at the song, “I Cry for Freedom“, by South African idol, Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
Though we take Existentialism as a frame of reference for our discussions, our scope wanders far beyond that, often touching on thoughts and traditions throughout the history of philosophy. However, you DO NOT need to know anything about philosophy to participate in our community. We believe (as Plato and many others have) that anyone is capable of doing philosophy as long as they are willing to take the right steps. Don’t fear but walk with us on this journey to becoming better philosophers.
