The streets of Salt River are once again ready to host the 2021 International Public Art Festival, Africa's largest street art festival! What is IPAF? Over a period of 5 days, 20 international and local street artists will paint large-scale murals across the neighbourhood of Salt River, the oldest suburb of South Africa's Mothercity. This year, the festival will be accompanied by interactive and covid-friendly biking and walking street art tours through Salt River as well as central Cape Town. *guided and do-it-yourself tours will be available) What will be our theme this year? This 5th instalment, themed “100% Sustainable”, will showcase public art activations that focus on the idea of sustainability, through environmental awareness, creative sustainable solutions, economic enrichment through skills-building and sharing, and an even greater focus on community building. Being in the throes of Covid-19, we need to think now, more than ever about how to ‘future-proof’ our communities through environmental, economic and social sustainability. Who are we? Baz-Art is ultra-conscious of our environmental and societal footprint and has set out to walk the talk by doing what we can so that every aspect of our annual International Public Art Festival has minimal impact on the environment as well as promoting social and economic inclusion.
