Along with the Design Indaba we have just had the Infecting the City festival all around Cape Town. The five day long Spier Public Arts Festival was themed "Treasure" this year and had many hidden surprises around the city. I enjoyed how the festival aimed at turning communal areas in the city into stimulating, creative and truly public spaces and putting socially engaged performance and art on the streets where it is accessible to everyone. It is
great that the general public was exposed to performance and musical expressions that underlie the rich cultural diversity of our society and that are seldom seen outside of the communities in which they originate.
