		<description><![CDATA[The town of Stellenbosch gears up to host an extraordinary series of events, next year, when the first Stellenbosch Triennale will play host to some of the world’s most sought after artists responding to the complex present, historical realities and future possibilities. The Stellenbosch Triennale, brainchild of the Stellenbosch Outdoor Sculpture Trust, will take place from 11 February to 30 April in 2020. Venues across the town will exhibit works in response to the theme of the Triennale Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us. In addition to artworks by practitioners of contemporary art from Africa, the Triennale will also provide a unique learning opportunity for all in its vicinity. Known as The Imaginarium, the carefully engineered platform will be a supplementary, online, open source (i.e. free) discovery and learning resource centre for all ages. This exciting experience will be accessed through the Triennale website, and will be designed to stimulate the imagination while supporting 21st Century learning skills. Prior to the launch of the Stellenbosch Triennale online content, workshops which put this theory into practice have already begun. Workshops and lessons are being held at the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography. Here, Grade 5’s from Devon Valley Primary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Stellenbosch Triennale, brainchild of the Stellenbosch Outdoor Sculpture Trust, takes place from 11 February to 30 April 2020 in a location renowned for its halls of academia and historical vineyards. The upcoming international showcase, extraordinary in terms of international reach and extent of art on show, will place creativity in critical dialogue with the society that fosters and exhibits it. The theme Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us informs the further seven multidisciplinary platforms &#8211; that provide meeting points for engagement with the divided past, the collective present and imagined futures. The Curators’ Exhibition compiled by Chief Curator Khanyisile Mbongwa, with Triennale co-curator: Bernard Akoi-Jackson will feature 20 artists from a range of African countries, and will interpret the theme. The multidisciplinary art exhibition situated inside The Woodmill and on the surrounding precinct will provide a gateway where visitors will be introduced to the Triennale’s other exhibitions and installations. According to Chief Curator Mbongwa, “African creatives confront us with what is possible for a renewal to happen utilising art as a lens, a course correction, a stimulus around curiosity and imagination. Through the Triennale, we bring work from the continent to the southernmost tip as an intersection of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[‘Concrete’ and ‘innovation’ are two words which are seldom used in the same sentence. Many consider concrete to be a material that cannot advance further in its use. But this is not the case at all. There remain myths around concrete and its limitations, but with technology advancing at such a rapid pace, innovation in concrete may become a commonplace occurrence. At this point in time, however, concrete innovation is still a tremendously stimulating and relatively new field. The latest trends in concrete bear witness not just to the unlimited application of design thinking, but also to the flexibility of concrete itself – especially when combined with other materials. “Cement Gardening”, a popular trend in concrete innovation, is known for ‘greener’ living in urban gardening and is built around the idea of plants growing in cement. It is exciting as it is a successful way in which to create a vertical garden and living wall. Cement gardens capture rainwater, and the multi-layered cement encourages and sustains the growth of specific mosses and lichens directly onto the cement material. Given enough time, the vertical garden and living wall will be patterned with ‘living’ greenery. Another forward-thinking trend in concrete innovation is known as “Translucent Concrete” &#8211; a fibre-reinforced concrete which is used for aesthetic and [...]]]></description>
