THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In an ART AFRICA interview with Suzette Bell-Roberts, ICA director Nomusa Makhubu discusses taking live art beyond Cape Town’s established cultural centres. She describes partnerships with 16 on Lerotholi and Guga S’Thebe in KwaLanga, and the possibilities of free performances in public spaces. The conversation explores how participation, local histories and movement across the city shaped the festival’s approach. The 2026 festival ran from 14 to 18 October.
