Jay Pather presents on Cape Town public art festival Infecting the CityCape Town Partnership
Jay Pather presents on the Cape Town public art festival, Infecting the City: Public art has always been part of who we are on this continent and in this country. The interconnectedness of the African “us” has often been impeded however, throwing people apart and far away from each other, creating a physical and psychic separation. Infecting the City is a small attempt at igniting this interconnectedness through artistic expression, making public space public.
The document outlines the process to finalize the One Cape 2040 vision through stakeholder engagements from August to September 2012 to develop six transitions. From October to December 2012, the draft vision and strategy will be communicated to the public and the plan populated with existing stakeholder work.

Processes such as data collection and research are also needed.
