ICA Live Art Festival 2022 comes to an end with an exciting line up for this weekend at Kirstenbosch, Hiddingh hall Campus and CBD locations!
It’s art! It’s live! UCT’s Institute for Creative Arts (ICA) is currently hosting its flagship ICA Live Art Festival until 3 April. This biennial interdisciplinary festival, which began in 2012, is designed to challenge and extend the public’s experience of live art in a non-commercial environment. It also aims to make accessible the work of visual and performing artists who explore new forms, break boundaries, flout aesthetic conventions, tackle controversy, confront audiences and experiment with perceptions.
This weekend’s programmes include workshops on how to talk to plants; eco-printing and botanical dyeing techniques; part meditative journey, part ghost tour; and provocative performances about queer identity.

A couple οf the themes that punctuate the festival prοgramme this year are those οf a sense of precarity among people who have not been able to transform; what public meaning intimacy could assume from a pandemic soapbox; and whether a utopian future may ever be able tο work its way into our real-life experiences.
