Trash tunnel with Thingking 2020
Thingking is a great local design studio and manufacturer of amazing things. In March 2020 they asked us to be part of a large scale installation.
V&A Watershed festive decor 2019
Midway through 2019, we received a really massive and exciting commission from Platform Creative to make festive decor for the Watershed at the V&A Waterfront . This was a monumental move for the Waterfront; they chose to move away from the traditional imported decor used by most malls, and rather had decorations made by local craft and design companies from around Cape Town and South Africa, creating great growth opportunities for many locals. Many thanks to Platform Creative

Afrikaburn 2019 – Our first theme camp
In late 2018, we decided to attempt to get the team to Afrikaburn 2019. We started a Givengain campaign to raise funds for the adventure, and luckily received some funding from Afrikaburn to get there, including obtaining anathi tickets and artist tickets.
Sustainability and our environment
Our Workshop provide education on how to collect, separate and upcycle waste in an environmentally conscious way. The waste is used to make products which in turn will make living spaces more green and liveable – including shacks in townships.
This allows people to experience for themselves how more environmentally sensitive choices can improve their lives.
