Kliptown’s contrasts are reflected here in the cultural roots of Thabang’s graffiti and the poverty of its canvas (photo courtesy of Kornienko, 2018).
Recently Thabang and I were walking the streets of Kliptown, I asked him what he saw.
“It’s so dirty” he said.
“There is such innovative use of materials” I responded.
The place is dirty. People do do beautiful things with found materials. These two perspective evolved into the waste upcycling initiative.
