(Un)Infecting the City 2021 to run from 7 May – 30 June 2021

The longest running public arts festival in South Africa, Infecting the City, renamed (Un)Infecting the City for this year, offers a unique opportunity to bring art, music, performance and film screenings out of theatres and galleries and into public spaces.

This year’s (Un)Infecting the City will focus on the psychological and social impacts of COVID-19 and the recent fires in Cape Town and at UCT. The festival, which is presented by UCT’s Institute for Creative Arts (ICA), will observe social distancing and embraces a new crowd-free format, using multiple outdoor locations across Cape Town and incorporating digital and virtual performances. For the full programme and schedule visit www.infectingthecity.com from 01 May 2021 onwards.

New Mural loading…..

Inspiring new mural initiative set to bring colour to public spaces - watch this space!

Today we take a look at Durban Graffiti and Mural artist @k3vseven, whose work is currently in progress. Born in the Umlazi township south of Durban @k3seven’s design is inspired by Afro-futurism, fashion, the evolution of the African identity and its relationship to the modern world.

The mural is supported by leading coatings brand, @plasconsa , who has commissioned @sj_artists_ to bring the concept to life. SJ Artists was founded in 2012 by Shani Judes and specialises in curating large-scale, exciting public art projects. SJ Artists works with top artists to create striking murals on walls and buildings across the country.

The FAST Heroes programme is being implemented in a number of South African schools. It is very inspiring to know that so many young children are being empowered to save their grandparents.
