We hosted, conceptualised and published the catalogue to a group photographic exhibition called Real City. We collaborated with photographer Barry Christianson  who founded therealcityofcapetown instagram feed.  The # therealcityofcapetown group consists of a growing group of embedded and engaged photographers and for the exhibition we displayed the work of Lidudumalingani Mqombothi, Iqraa Daniel, Barry Christianson, Lindsey Appolis, Leanne Brady, Ashraf Hendricks, Musaed Abrahams and Zayaan Jappie.  An image of Ocean View taken by the late Peter Clarke formed part of the exhibition as a starting point for the conversation around the plurality of  imaginaries, public practices and lived experience in and of Cape Town.  Photo by Masixole Feni Photo by Masixole Feni Photo by Masixole Feni Photo by Masixole Feni

Open Studios is an annual event organised by the Cape Town Design Network. The event is an opportunity for the general  public to enter into architectural studios and in this way initiate discussion and discourse around the profession of architecture. For Open Studios 2016 we organised an exhibition of models of the Chere Botha School for learners with special educational  needs. The Chere Botha School is a current project in our studio and located in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. For the  Open Studios event we focused on the way light is explored as a key architectural element in the organising and articulation of space and volume. The exhibition consisted of a series of models, a film and a catalogue of drawings for viewers to take home.   Photo by Masixole Feni Photo by Masixole Feni Photo by Lindsey Appolis Photo by Lindsey Appolis Photo by Lindsey Appolis

Pumflet - art, architecture and stuff is serial publication co-founded with artist Kemang Wa Lehulere. The publication seeks to connect architectural spaces with cultural and social practices of the imagination. “Daar gaan die Alabama’ was the first iteration of the project. The project was conceptualised as a public intervention around the history and demolition in 1984 of an old city cinema. We discovered that the film was interrupted in order for bulldozers to proceed with demolition. The intervention included: the re-screening of the interrupted film on the pavement where the old cinema once stood; the display of newspaper clippings in the corner shop that now occupies the site; and the publication of Pumflet, a set of letter exchanges dwelling on the events surrounding the demolition.    Photo by Lindsey Appolis Photo by Barry Christianson Photo by Barry Christianson Photo by Barry Christianson
