		<description><![CDATA[Abandon Netflix and take to the streets of Cape Town for the ultimate screening experiences, performances and installations this May and June! The longest-running public arts festival in South Africa, Infecting the City, renamed (Un)Infecting the City for this year, offers a unique opportunity to bring art, music, dance and performance out of theatres and galleries and into public spaces. The 2021 festival, presented by the University of Cape Town’s Institute for Creative Arts (ICA), upholds its public-hearted spirit, but has updated its format to allow for social distancing. In previous years, the festival has reimagined transport and shopping hubs, squares, gardens and public walkways as transformative stages. It showcased an array of multi-disciplinary art forms, and created a platform for artworks that engage with historical and contemporary narratives relevant to the city and its people. As South Africa grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, and more recently, the fires in Cape Town and at UCT, this year’s (Un)Infecting the City will have a thematic focus on the psychological and social impacts of this time. COVID-19 in itself has led to a dramatic loss of human life nationwide, and the beginning of 2021, in particular, has seen many people having to come to terms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Littlegig, the world’s only 24-hour, all-inclusive, curated festival, returns to Wiesenhof Farm in Cape Town from 28-29 January 2017 with a progressive line-up of highly coveted experiences spanning international music, food tastings, art, fashion, design and fine wine. The festival boasts a high-level, tutored Littlegig Wine Tasting that features wines which have been handpicked by top local winemaker, Miles Mossop. Mossop, the winemaker at Tokara and Miles Mossop Wines, was invited to curate the Wine Tasting at Littlegig 2017 after hosting Littlegig’s previous tutored tasting at the inaugural festival. The 2016 Littlegig Wine Tasting was such a successful aspect of the first event that it has now become entrenched in the festival programme as a vital ingredient in the carefully edited foodie offering – one that includes a feast by “wonder chef” Rasmus Munk from the Alchemist restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark. Mossop’s 2017 Littlegig Wine Tasting focuses on wines that hail from the Simonsberg region, which is the same area where Littlegig festival is held. But the choice is not a sentimental one. The Simonsberg is one of the country&#8217;s top wine-producing areas, home to many well-established farms that consistently produce award-winning wines. Mossop has chosen a selection of wines which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Littlegig, the world’s first 24-hour, curated, “all-included” festival, returns to Cape Town in 2017 with an eclectic line-up of international talent in music, food and design. Taking place at Wiesenhof farm in Stellenbosch from 28-29 January 2017, Littlegig’s music lineup is headlined by DJ Culoe de Song, an internationally-acclaimed proponent of African House; German electronic DJ/violinist, Seth Schwarz; Los Angeles-based DJ/producer Captain Planet; and award-winning local singer/songwriter Nakhane Touré. In addition, there is a host of talented acts that fill the festival programme. Johannesburg-based international DJ/producer Culoe de Song’s music has been described as ‘epic African house with a strange touch.’ His international success over the past few years is testament to his ability to segue international and African sounds, mixing the best beats from both worlds. A protégé of Black Coffee, Culoe now releases globally with German label Innervisions and has played at top tier parties including the coveted DC-10 Circo Loco in Ibiza, Watergate and Fabric. Culoe will be playing a 3-hour back-to back sundowner DJ set with executive producer Strat3gy (who is also a partner at House Afrika record label and Black Coffee’s Africa Rising). Seth Schwarz is the headline DJ for Littlegig’s Night Stage, held on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Littlegig Festival offers an irresistible, curated menu featuring an international Chef’s Table under the moonlight, an all-star Chef-and-Farmer’s Tasting, tutored Wine Tastings, pop-up bars and all-day feasting! Rather than playing second fiddle to the international music acts and local headliners, the curated food offering at Littlegig Festival 2017 is also a star of the show! While the 2016 event had award-winning local chef, Bertus Basson, at its helm, the second edition of Littlegig, which runs from 28-29 January 2017 at Wiesenhof Farm in Stellenbosch, takes things on the culinary front to the next level. Littlegig is the country’s only all-included, 24-hour, curated festival of food, wine, music, art, design and fashion. So all the delectable food and drink on offer is included in the ticket price &#8211; with the exception of the international Chef’s Table presented by global wonder chef, Rasmus Munk, of Alchemist restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark. There’s an abundance of all-day food presented by top caterer Annalize Sainsbury of Escoffier. The fare focuses on hearty, unfussy yet fabulous meals suited to a festival environment. That’s not forgetting the complimentary convenience store, if extra sweet treats are in order! In addition, the Saturday afternoon sees a Chef-and-Farmer’s Tasting presented [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Top couturiers like Valentino, Gucci and Dolce &#38; Gabbana are doffing a feathered, bejeweled cap to festival fashion, and for good reason. Tribal influences, fringing and embellishment have been hot on the style radar for some time now, propelled to a large degree by a new wave of festive events that push the boundaries of self-expression and creativity. Littlegig is just such an event. It was founded in 2016 by former fashion magazine writer/editor, Georgia Black, and is the country’s only 24-hour, all-inclusive, curated festival. “Festival fashion is not about feather boas and glitter hats from Chinese stores,” she states. “It’s a major international trend.” Littlegig 2017 has a progressive line-up of highly curated experiences spanning international music, food tastings, art, design, and most importantly in this case, concept fashion. Littlegig encourages the creative freedom that is the heritage of the carnival. This call is clearly taken up by Littlegig patrons, whose flamboyant and imaginative style is as much a festival attraction as the official programme itself. “Littlegig is a creativity-led festival and dressing up is at its heart,” explains Black. “It just happened organically.” At the inaugural Littlegig festival in 2016, Black enhanced this element of the event by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Artworks made in the multiple are at the centre of three inter-related events at Open Design Cape Town, hosted by EDITIONS Cape Town at Cape Town City Hall. To kick off Open Design on Thursday 13 August, Katherine Bull and Warren Editions performed,​ Lessons in Transformation The Speech. This site-specific performance was dedicated to the occasion of Nelson Mandela&#8217;s first public speech, made on the veranda of City Hall on 11 February 1990 – the day of his release from prison. &#160; Bull interprets by means of engraving onto perspex the projecting moving image of Mandela’s speech. The artist distills the moving image into the four process colours – yellow, magenta, cyan and black. These become the matrices for a colour combination print. Printing took place by Warren Editions while Bull engraved the matrices, bringing together a partnership of mark-making and the impression of these marks in ink on substrate. The performance spread out in two rooms – one dedicated to a satellite studio space for Warren Editions. The imprint of the matrices over one another blends the four process colours into a full chroma of the moving image interpreted by Bull. &#160; Occurring alongside, the exhibition HOST is organised [...]]]></description>
