Cape Town is one of the cities chosen to be part of the Beyond Walls initiative. Cape Town is the 9th city, out of 30 to become part of this global artwork.

Premier Alan Winde says being chosen by a world-renowned artist like Saype to host his artworks in three spaces in the city is a huge honour and further cements the City’s reputation as a creative capital.

The artworks will be on display in Sea Point, Langa and Philippi.

Saype was supported in creating these artworks by over 50 local professionals and artists, further expanding the global nature of this piece.

The unveiling comes just ahead of the opening of the International Public Art Festival which is being held in Cape Town next month.

This open-air exhibition showcases new and existing Cape Town Street art, through guided and non-guided tours, providing a safe way for locals and visitors alike to support our local artists and the creative economy.
