		<description><![CDATA[3 April to 4 June 2025 How does a jolt of neon pink against muted greens affect your emotional state? What sensations arise when metallic gold weaves through layers of electric blue? These are the questions Cape Town-based artist Debbie Field invites viewers to consider in her latest exhibition, Is it ok to use neons? The psychology of colour has long examined how different hues influence human behaviour, emotions and perceptions. Field builds on this rich tradition, pushing boundaries with contemporary pigments. From layers of vibrant neons and fluorescents emerges an immersive exploration of pigment and texture, as colours play across the surfaces of canvas, board and paper deliberately chosen to evoke immediate emotional responses before inviting intellectual analysis. Selected for the Nando&#8217;s Creative Exchange 2025, Field has run practical art workshops for UCT Summer School and ceramic studios across South Africa. Her approach embodies Virginia Woolf&#8217;s sentiment ‘I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky’, creating works where the boundaries between observer and artwork blur, leaving only the pure experience of colour itself. About the artist Debbie Field Debbie Field explores the intersection of colour and emotion in abstract pieces that challenge traditional perceptions. She has run [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does it mean to recognise consciousness in all living things as we navigate the challenges of the Anthropocene? This is one of the urgent questions posed by this year’s in-person ICA Live Art Festival, which takes place in Cape Town from 19 March to 3 April 2022. The festival programme embraces several performances (amongst a line-up of 38 diverse works) that reference sentient beings. Fittingly, most of these performances are set to take place in Cape Town’s iconic botanical garden, Kirstenbosch. The famed landscaped grounds are home to a myriad species of plants, insects, birds, reptiles and other animals. Kirstenbosch National Botanical GardenImage Credit: Chanelle Adams But the irony of this setting is not lost on the festival’s curators and performers. In fact, they relish the opportunity to remind audiences that Kirstenbosch has a contested colonial past, and that our relationship with the fragile natural world remains complicated. The seven works will engage with plants, politics, and history, allowing audiences to see and experience Kirstenbosch – and plants – in a fresh way. “Kirstenbosch is mostly framed as a site of nature, but once we look at it as a place of work, it becomes clear that it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Littlegig, the world’s only all-inclusive 24-hour festival, returns to Wiesenhof Farm in Cape Town for the second time, from 28-29 January 2017 with a progressive line-up of highly coveted experiences spanning international music, food tastings, fashion, fine art and design. Littlegig is the first festival of its kind to include access to carefully handpicked events, food, drinks and accommodation in the ticket price. This year’s event will once again inspire lovers of art and design by showcasing new bespoke pieces created by upcoming furniture designer Xandre Kriel, a sculptural installation by fine artist Rowan Smith, and a live painting performance by rising star, Atang Tshikare. These highlights are featured alongside a glittering array of custom-designed installations staggered throughout the festival landscape. Some wildly popular elements from the inaugural Littlegig event will return to contribute to the spirit of the 2017 event. Together, stimulating installations and themed zones by leading stylists will make for a heady visual and sensory feast. The art and design elements running throughout Littlegig are there not for design’s sake alone, but have been carefully chosen to enhance the overall experience. The Gin Bar installation designed by leading local designer Porky Hefer for the first Littlegig festival [...]]]></description>
