Children from Extension 9 will be taking a front row seat this National Arts Festival as part of a collaborative arts movement between Mixtape public art projects and the Sakhaluntu Theatre Group.

The collaboration is the brainchild of Cape Town based artist Linda Stupart, who feels that there is a lack of accessible visual artwork at the Festival. T
 

he purpose of the collaboration is to use visual art as a way for these children to engage with the public during the Festival something which she feels has been noticeably absent.

Craig Groenewald, a Masters student at Rhodes University and the Grahamstown agent for the project, has been working with Stupart and the team from Sakhaluntu on a community outreach project.

This   performance-based project will teach the children drumming, singing and gumboot dancing which they can then use as street performances during the Festival.

Mixtape will also be running a kite project in  collaboration with the National Arts Festival, which will involve making kites out of recycled materials.

These kites will then be flown over various locations around Grahamstown and will act as a beacon to mark out performance places.

Mixtape is also intent on showcasing community art, and have partnered with the Egazini Outreach Centre. They will be holding an exhibition at the centre in the second week of Festival, showcasing works of art from both the local community as well as from a variety of Cape Town-based artists.

Mixtape is aiming to introduce art and performance that is public, interactive, multidisciplinary and collaborative.

Festinos can look forward to alternative performances and showcases which have not beenavailable in the past. If you would like to get involved in any of these projects please contact Craig  Groenewald at craig.rgr@gmail.com
