Except of course its not Christmas! Its Creative Week Cape Town that is getting me all exciteable! Oh how times have changes from the single digit ages of three to ten, now in my early thirties I am absolutely thrilled by the idea of an entire week that celebrates creativity in the mother city!
Starting today, from 9-18 September, Creative Week Cape Town creates a platform, or a magnifying glass-effect perhaps, to profile all the cool creative stuff going on in Cape Town. A chance to get creatives talking and interacting and even a little bit of boasting.
Because there is lots of cool stuff going on! Be sure to check out the calendar tabs at the top of the Creative Week site to see what is happening around Cape Town each and ever day of Creative Week, including the Loeries weekend 16-18 Sept. And all this follows perfectly in the wake of the World Design Capital bid for which we are still awaiting an announcement - and which I am hoping the judges are waiting too for this very week in which to announce the awesomeness that is our city will be the ambassador in 2014 for how a city uses design for social, cultural and economic development.
As with creative things, often we don't immediately get what they're about. As with art. And often music too. Creativity is what you envisage it to be! And as with one of the many aspects of the Creative Week Cape Town, these F_ _ _ the box posters are a great idea...
Flex the box I say. Feel the box. Find the box. Fill the box. Fool the box. But whatever you do, be part of it. Stretch those creative mind muscles and keep an eye open around the city of Cape Town, or online, for what else pops up this week ahead!
And if you're in London, you too can celebrate and support African-inspired culturalness at the 9th London African Music Festival!
Rock on inspired creativeness!
