Meet Alistair Palmer – a man of substance… a kid who engages with Cape Town, both the city and the people. Just like a kid making a mess with finger paints, Al embraces the innocent joy of creating art. It’s about leaving behind all that hedonistic talk of trying to make sense of everything and is instead about looking at something and getting an honest, happy feeling out of it.
Meet Jean Rene Onyangunga, a jester on the streets and a kinetic spectacle of colour and sound. He breaks into your world, primary coloured and fucking loud. Gallant and off the wall, he was born in Kinshasa and yeah, you can take the kid of the jungle but can’t take the jungle out of the kid. It’s hard to catch him as he hop-scotches along through life, hollering fully charged boom-box dialogues. But if you can by some chance catch him, please tell him to answer his fucking phone! |
