NEW MURAL- KLIPTOWN ARTIST IMPACT

A new mural has appeared on the outside of the Soweto Hotel, thanks to Kliptown Artists Impact. They are collaborating with the hotel, for future artistic interventions, and will be working together with us on the Cardboard Monument project.

FIRST MEETING WITH FUNDA ART SCHOOL

During the last two weeks of October, I visited Funda Community Art College for the first time. We discussed our collaboration on the Cardboard Monument building in Janurary 2011. We held several discussions at Funda with the students, about their knowledge and understanding of Kliptown as an historically and politically significant site. In January will start with field research in Kliptown.
