"...dwelling in the
realm of dreams may be the one route to imagining, and possibly even bringing
to life, alternative futures for Kaapstad. So, how does one best slip
into a dreamworld?" -
Edgar Pieterse,
Re-dreaming Kaapstad, in Chimurenga 7 : Kaapstad!

Cape Town, South Africa isn't just the host city of CAPE, one of Africa’s largest and most challenging contemporary art events - it is also one of the world's most spectacular and seductive urban destinations.
Cape Town. eKapa. Kaapstad. Perhaps no other city in the world mirrors the flows and hybridities of globalism more acutely than Cape Town, South Africa.
Situated at the southern tip of Africa it is at once a historical port city and a contemporary port of call for emigrants; a stopover on the trade routes of yesterday and a key node in today’s global information flow; a scenic coastal paradise and a buzzing cosmopolitan centre; a vibrant cultural hub of interconnectedness that brings together the African and the global.
To get the most out of your visit to Cape Town, you should stay for at least 4 - 5 days.
How to get there? Where to stay? What to do? Where to find it?
