On today’s Radio Workshop, we’re all about art. We caught up with some pupils who descended on Cape Town’s City centre for the annual, Infecting the City, public arts festival.

The festival is not just audiences viewing art hanging on a wall…its about seeing art happening in the moment in everyday public spaces...and in some spaces you might not associate with art, like the Cape Town station.
