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.

Society for hundreds of years have been obsessed with images and how things are presented from the outside. We take a closer look by asking people from around the world a couple questions and then illustrate what they have told us. It’s like creating a VISUAL MOUTHPIECE for the people we meet. The idea was created by illustrator / designer / artist Wesley van Eeden from Durban, South Africa. The project’s focus is to paint and illustrate peoples points of view from around the world. Exploring themes such as where people get their hope, what are their dreams, what would they like to change in their town and what makes them happy. It aims to encourage dialog between different people and cultures and to give the person on the street the chance to tell the world how they feel about the fundamental issues of life.
