Infecting The City 2014 – Mbombela<\/strong><\/p>\n

Infecting The City 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Infecting The City grew from its inception in 2008 with just over 10 artworks to 60 artworks and performances in 2013. There was a 300% increase in submissions to participate between 2012 and 2013, \u00a0and the audience has diversified and grown – all testimony to an assured public interest in a Festival of this nature.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kn2EQ2hOdqA”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Infecting The City 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

The focus of Infecting The City was on \u201cmaking public space public\u201d, where each artwork was commissioned to engage fully with Cape Town and to draw, involve or reflect the city\u2019s public in their collectively-owned spaces. The 2012 Festival introduced South Africans to a multi-disciplinary range of 32 public artworks from highly considered international and local artists.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6BMiqe_3flc&list=PL9CC71ACDECE36CFC”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Infecting The City 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2011 Festival celebrated the theme of Treasure,\u00a0<\/em>chosen to encapsulate the vibrant and cosmopolitan diversity of Cape Town. \u00a0Inviting artists and audience members alike to appreciate, take ownership of and celebrate the cultural riches that are often overlooked, neglected or discarded.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X-j_Ju4U_aM”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Infecting The City 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

Infecting The City 2010 was loosely themed around the concept of Human Rite,\u00a0<\/em> inviting artists to create public artworks that investigated and explored\u00a0the role of rites and rituals as tools for transformation and healing. The artworks questioned \u201cHow do the arts use ritual to effect social change and cohesion?\u201d, \u201cWhat are the wounds in our society and our city that need attention?\u201d and \u00a0\u201cCan we make art works that are themselves rituals to heal these wounds?\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2DqEnUT4pZc”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Infecting The City 2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

The broad theme that underlined the 2009 Festival was Home Affairs<\/em>, which investigated issues of immigrant vs. citizen, insider vs. outsider, inclusion and exclusion. Unavoidable reference was made to the xenophobic tensions that simmer in southern Africa. As in 2008, an innovative component of Infecting The City 2009 was the creation of collaborative works by teams of artists from Europe, South Africa, a number of SADC countries and Australia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M055tSBWZ3k#t=62″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Infecting The City 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spier Performance Art Festival began its new journey as the Infecting The City Public Art Festival in 2008, curated by Brett Bailey and Jay Pather. We\u2019ve been pushing the boundaries of public space ever since – in the process facilitating understandings of performance art and growing discerning local audiences.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
