Creative Session 5: International Artist Day

SPECIAL EDITION!

International Artist Day is celebrated annually on October 25th to honour artists and their contributions to society and culture. To commemorate the occasion, we have partnered with Iziko Museums of South Africa to celebrate this awareness day on 31 October!

At this special edition workshop, we will explore the use of everyday edible pigments associated with the domestic environment, including ochre, spices, vegetable dyes, and food colouring.

These pigments will be used as painting media, as we consider the use of “domestic pigments through time” in the rock art gallery and the South African National Gallery.

Block Nation is a community-based creative arts programme that connects communities across Cape Town and the broader Western Cape.

Through arts, culture, storytelling, and creative expression, Block Nation creates opportunities for communities to share their stories, celebrate their identities, and build meaningful connections across neighbourhoods through art.
