Velokhaya

Boamistura were kind enough to get help out writeonafrica and do some painting on our behalf,

Velokhaya is a cycling academy in Khayelitsha. Safmarine asked Marc and Lyall from Thinking to provide a few basic facilities while brightening things up. Seeing as Velokhaya is increasingly becoming a community centre, every change was made with the aim of forming a space that makes people want to spend time there. It was also important to create greater presence around the academy and in this sense Boamistura /Writeonafrica painted a brilliant Mural that also communicates the centres purpose. Other interventions include seating with storage, braais, misting systems, benches and a wall of wind mobiles scratched with wishes.

African Acces

We would like to thank our new sponsors “African Access” who generously support our large scale mural initiatives,with the use of there cranes
without these cranes these murals would be impossible to execute so we are very grateful and are excited about all the big walls we can now create,

Here are some images from the murals created within the last few weeks already,
