M&G’s weekly round-up of the country’s hot-ticket events, focuses on one for Cape Town.
CAPE TOWN
Plakkers is an exhibition by artists and collectives working in the genre of street art in Cape Town.
“The wall” is a common motif in these artists’ works, either as the site where the work is placed or as the content of the work itself. As a versatile Afrikaans word meaning stickers, decorators and squatters, Plakkers echoes this motif but also places the show within the vernacular register of everyday news headlines in which “land is invaded” and “squatters evicted”.
The exhibition features works from X-Collective, Tokolos Stencils, the Burning Museum, Khaya Witbooi, Chad Rossouw, Atang Tshikare, Haroon Gunn Salie and Ashley Walters.
