		<description><![CDATA[Minibus taxis are often in the news, but rarely for promoting the arts. Turning the tables on this perception, is respected local artist Thania Petersen, who has collaborated with taxi owners Ziyaad and Fatima Dyason to turn a public transport vehicle into a moving masterpiece that passengers can appreciate en route. The “pimped-up” ride forms part of the UnInfecting the City public arts festival currently underway in Cape Town. The festival is presented by the University of Cape Town’s Institute for Creative Arts. “The Taxi Project is a public arts Initiative to make art accessible to people who do not have the privilege to experience much, if any, art in their lives. By turning a taxi into an immersive art experience &#8211; from showcasing video work, visual art, recorded poetry readings and even theatre productions played on a screen inside the vehicle &#8211; commuters&#8217; lives can be enriched with the arts at any given moment of the day,” explains Petersen. To achieve this end, the interior of the Dyasons’ taxi has been kitted out a 22-inch screen and sound system, on which Petersen’s latest film will play. She has covered the entire outside of the vehicle in the art from the [...]]]></description>

		<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.
