Johannesburg CBD

  Old and New - Juta Street

 City of Gold Urban Arts festival 2012 - Cape Town artist (Braamfontein)

 City of Gold 2012 - Solo1, England (Braamfontein)

 Johannesburg Crew - City of Gold 2012 (Braamfontein)

 Commissioned graffiti mural and commissioned wooded heads (Newtown cultural precinct)

 Once again, the commissioned wooden heads in Newtown. There are 500 head all around city centre, all commissioned by the Municipality as part of urban space regeneration. 
It is said that one should not wait until a space is clean and then install urban art; one should instal urban art and then watch as the space becomes clean.

Some old urban art, on the steps up to Museum Africa.


If you find yourself in the centre of Johannesburg, take a stroll and watch the space around you. See the the city as text and begin to understand the people living there.
