Namaqualand colours in Cape Town

14 October, 2012 by wotzupcapetown Leave a Comment

The concept of the exhibition is to start from the beauty of nature colours, share with visitors some understanding of the plants and flowers, and provide some recommended tourism contacts to facilitate CapeTownians to decide how to plan for their next journey to Namaqualand. Namaqualand Colours is a group photography exhibition of Siegfried Schafer, Steven Smuts, and Laurence Savary. From October 25 to end December, a bit of Namaqualand can be experienced in the heart of Cape town (at the Cape Town Baptist Church, 23 Kloof Street). The opening of the exhibition will take place on Thursday 25 October, 6-9pm, by Louis Willemse who guided the photographers tour to Namaqualand, and John Manning, a SANBI Botanist, author of the

Alliance Francaise Art Exhibition by Zena

Our sister site in Port Elizabeth, Whats Up PE did an article recently on the Alliance Francaise in Port Elizabeth we were so impressed with the cultural contributions that the organization brings to its respective host city that we decided to do a little enquiry into our very own Alliance Francaise in Cape Town and this is what we found… Just as we had guessed the AF arranges a variety of different social events from French Cinema evenings, to trivia evenings and concerts largely focused on French culture and promoting Francophone in the City that they represent. Next week the AF is launching an exciting Art Exhibition by French photographer Zena. She will be using her first solo exhibition to launch her new technique

Construction of A Woman

5 June, 2010 by fisheyegirl Leave a Comment

This project ‘Construction of a Woman’ is all about how women get portrayed in today’s society. I decided to take it a step further, look at it in a different aspect with a bit of edginess to it. What I found fitting to that criteria was ‘Construction of a Woman and her Nationality’. I then carefully selected four individuals, that differentiated in origin. With their nativity in mind, I came across the concept of painting their flags onto their faces. My project combines Fashion and Art, which the different girls depicted differently. Plus the theme of this project couldn't have been more perfect, as the World Cup is around the corner.

A Crossroad Ahead…

Happy New Year, Everyone! These are some photo's i took while up in Cape St.Francis. The 5km walk home on New Years Day, didn't help us much, as we were still completley exhausted from the Night before. But i had a good time, just snapping away and hoping someone would give us a ride, which sadly, never happened...
