ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the presence and relevance of Paulo Freire’s theories to the non-formal arts education sector in South Africa during the Apartheid and post-Apartheid periods. It also engages the writings of key critical pedagogues who built on Freire’s work and explores how Paulo Freire and his pedagogical legacy served as a foundation for the dialogical and humanizing educational methodologies at three Cape Town-based organizations: the Community Arts Project, The Vakalisa Art Associates, and the District Six Homecoming Centre. As an outcome of this investigation, the thesis justifies the continued relevance of a socially engaged pedagogy in the praxis of contemporary forms of non-formal arts education for the youth. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die teenwoordigheid en tersaaklikheid van Paulo Freire se teorieë in die informele kunsopvoedingsektor in Suid Afrika gudurende die Apartheid en post-Apartheid eras. Hierdie navorsing gebruik die werk van kritiese pedagoë as ‘n basis om dialogiese en humaniserende opvoedkundige metodologieë in die werk van drie Kaapstad-gebaseerde organisasies te ondersoek: die Community Arts Project, die Vakalisa Art Associates, en die District Six Homecoming Centre. As uitkoms van hierdie ondersoek verdedig die tesis die relevansie van 'n sosiaal-betrokke pedagogie in die praktyk van kontemporêre vorme van informele kunsonderrig vir die jeug.
