PASTE. A STREET ART EXHIBITION VIDEO
18 local artists were selected to design, illustrate or photograph work around the theme of Khayelitsha Culture. Curated by SJ Artists and local design website, 10and5, the work was turned into large scale wheat pastes and was pasted around Khayelitsha and the inner city of Cape Town.
The aim was to take the exhibition out of the gallery space and into the streets of both city and township. Spreading the art into the different cultures and allowing the greater community access. We think thats pretty freaking rad.
