adminThe Africa Centre has begun preparations for Infecting The City Public Arts Festival that will be held in the first week of March 2013.
The Infecting The City Festival offers a unique opportunity to bring art, music, dance and performance out of theatres and galleries into the streets and public spaces of
Cape Town’s Central Business District. Its aspirations are to challenge audiences, breach boundaries, shift perspectives and help make sense of the public spaces we occupy.
The festival’s aim is to develop a public art intervention that resonates and challenges people to connect with each other and the city, through art. Those who are interested in taking part in the festival should submit works that are either completely new or have been previously staged. The work can be a full ensemble piece, an intervention, a live performance, a visual art piece, an installation, a video, a happening, working with technology, via social media, totally interactive or some other form newly imagined.
All works should translate to or work within a public environment, and should actively engage intentional and incidental audiences.
There is no specific theme, though works that concern issues of urbanity are encouraged.
