Art on the ground âBeyond Wallsâ creates longest human chain in the world, launches Public Arts Festival in Cape Town!
The launch of the âBeyond Wallsâ art exhibition of international artist Saype in Sea Point yesterday has attracted attention from locals, an exhibition one cannot see on the ground, but is visible from above, and from photographs taken by drones.
The artist has created installations within the Cape Town exhibition on the lawns in Sea Point (top left), and on the ground in Philippi Village (bottom right), and in Buwga Square in Langa (middle right).
The âBeyond Wallsâ exhibition features the longest human chain in the world, and represents unity, mutual aid, and common effort beyond geographical constraints.
