PROGRAMME 3  labels. touch. me

This programme will be launched on 9 June 2021 at 6pm.

Programme 3 was originally scheduled for the Company’s Gardens|IZIKO South African National Gallery, Museum and Amphitheatre Precinct. Some of the works were meant to be projected on screens as well as on some of the colonial sculptures, the live performances would spread out across the lawns and amphitheatre.

However, weather and a looming COVID 19 Third Wave prevented this.
