Yesterday at Main St Sundays, Spaza Art was invited to create a large-scale street mandala with the public.
Built through movement, play, and participation; children and passersby becoming part of the artwork.
For us, these works are about bringing community together, shared authorship, and activating public space
If you saw or shared it, you were part of it, thank-you.

By the end of the day, it was washed away.

Like the Buddhist sand mandala where intricate works are carefully made, then swept away, reminding us of impermanence, of letting go, of presence over possession.

It was a lot like that and also… it raises a question.

What would it mean for the city to hold onto something like this?
To choose beauty, play, and participation not just for a moment, but as a permanent part of our streets?

Lovely aerial shot of the fountain we helped revamped in Braamfontein.

The launch of the Ameshoff Street Identity & Placemaking Project was made entertaining by performances by the JMPD band and others acts.

THE SEA STARTS HERE. The ridge that runs from west to east of Johannesburg forms a watershed. All the rain that falls to the south of the ridge flows eventually into the Atlantic Ocean. All the rain that falls north of the ridge flows to the Indian Ocean. This mosaic celebrated the Joburgs Watershed. It's situated in Braamfontein in a little urban oasis on the walkway behind Joburg Theatre CNR Simmonds & Ammeshof.
