Landi Raubenheimer and Paul Cooper

Duration:

On going

The Wishing Wall is a huge, fluid, ever-changing collage made up of wishes, reflections, opinions, photos, tidbits and keepsakes from you, the people of Cape Town. A space for connecting, healing, venting, expressing, enacting, feeling, interacting…Both installation and performance, The Wishing Wall will evolve continuously throughout the Festival week.

Like a physical, visual blog The Wishing Wall gives immediate access to the collective thoughts, desires, aspirations and needs of the Festival community. It recalls those sites of conflict, trauma and remembrance where we lay flowers, cards and memorabilia; and the informal advertisement walls where notes are left detailing the availability of inner-city accommodation.

Bring something personal (a written hope, dream, or recollected moment, a photo or a memento) with you and join Landi and Paul in making this temporary monument to the fleeting moment.
