#ANOTHERLIGHTUP

We explored Cape Town street art in the month of March and hosted Faith47, world renowned graffiti artist as well as Lyall Sprong aka Thingking. 

Faith47 and Lyall Sprong have teamed up with the Design Indaba Trust to create an urban design initiative called #ANOTHERLIGHTUP. Together with Design Indaba Trust, they harness the visual power of design and crowd-funding to engage with the community and raise vital funds for a street light system, bringing light to one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Cape Town, Monwabisi in Khayalitsha.

Standing several stories high, their project is an experimental look at how to connect parts of the city that are otherwise far removed. The transformation of an ordinary building into something beautiful and uplifting, demonstrates what is possible when creativity and passion synergize flawlessly.

Their project breaches the gap between the world of design and the real world issues we face in South Africa.
