Briefing and Q&A: Public Art and the Power of Place

20 June, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm SAST

Public Art and the Power of Place, initiated by the African Centre for Cities at UCT, with support from the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund seeks to support six public art engagements to be manifested in Cape Town’s townships in 2015 that explore the significance of place outside of the City Bowl.

The African Centre for Cities is looking for proposals for public art projects that: Have been developed by township-based artists (can be original work or developments of existing projects) // Offer new understandings or perspectives of urban realities of Cape Town’s townships through creative means // Have a public dimension: engage public spaces; include people; concern public interest; or face the public in a meaningful way.

On Saturday 20 June 10:00-12:00 we will be hosting a briefing and Q&A session for potential artists at Guga S’Thebe in Langa. Please join us to find out more about the project.
