The Creative Cape Town Clusters meet again on 4 November from 17h00 at the Woolworths Head Office, Longmarket Street (behind City Hall). As always we have three great talks followed by networking with creative industry peers fueled by Woolworths foods and wines. This month all four of our speakers could be called creative entrepreneurs – individuals with a drive to move their creative talents forward and who do so with a strong entrepreneurial flair. First up is Guto Bussab – a photographer, filmmaker and director of TheMutiGallery, Muti Films and Muti Photography who speak about his multidisciplinary practice. Guto also shot the fashion shoot for Creative Cape Town Annual – some of the images were used again in the Explore Creative Cape Town map. Ricky Lee Gordon runs Word-Of-Art, an edgy young Creative Agency, who put together Creative Cape Town’s Loeries activation of Long Street. He also drives the non-profit Write on Africa. He tells us about his practise and his work on the Loeries project. Graphic designers Mark Henning and Hannah Williams talk about their self-motivated initiative to map transport routes in Cape Town – a labor of love which has seen them produce the first ever map of informal taxi routes of the city.
Free Parking can be found on Grand Parade and in Darling Street with security provided by the CCID. RSVP: sue@capetownpartnership.co.za or 021-4191881. Entrance is free!
Creative Cape Town will be kick-starting its monthly Creative Cape Town Cluster breakfasts in partnership with the Bird Café 127 Bree Street from late November/early December. This is an opportunity for three creatives/creative agencies to meet each other in a relaxed environment. An article on the breakfast and on the participants involved will appear in the Creative Cape Town News – great publicity! We will be scouting for suitable participants at the Creative Cape Town Clusters Forum. Unlike the free Clusters Forum, the Breakfasts will cost R25 a person which includes a great Bird Café breakfast (meat or veg options) and a free coffee/tea. If you haven’t eaten at Bird Café, now is your time to tuck into its organic fare in its arty environment. If you interested in being part of these breakfasts email zayd@capetownpartnership.co.za.
