Flowers of Cape Town was a three-day workshop with CPUT’s Faculty of IT & Design staff and students in November 2018. The idea of the project was to do an intervention and installation around sustainability. Not only to discuss recycling and different aspects of sustainability but rather discuss this on a personal level. How do the issues of sustainability and recycling make you feel? What kind of thoughts does this provoke in you? The project focused on utilizing recycled plastic as a material to imitate flowers of Cape Town. Plastic bags flying in the air are often referred to as “flowers of Cape Town.” Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden was an inspiration for the flowers, and we studied the park during the first day. The second day was used to make and produce the actual flowers. And the third day was about working together on an installation by the roadside at District Six.
