Creativity in Cape Town spikes in the build up to this year’s Design Indaba
Posted on 12. Feb, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising
It’s almost Design Indaba time again, which means the city is on a creative high…and if you look carefully enough you could well spot some fresh innovation roaming the streets.
We snapped this pop up music vending store on Long Street last week. The stand [which is a modified tricycle] sells a small collection of CDs of homegrown Cape Town talent. If you’d like to try-before-you-buy, the player on top is hooked up to a car radio for your listening pleasure.
It seems the pop up store is linked to the arts initiative Goemarati, which aims to capture the cultural diversity of Cape Town. With serious throw backs to the ice cream man concept, it’s a great idea for a mobile, temporary store.
