Cascoland Journal

Friday 10 March

Dutch artist Rob Sweere also constructed a radio tower at the Mayenzeke Centre. It is made of corrugated steel, the same material that many houses in the townships are made off. Inside the tower one can only look at the outside world vertically. Everything is made from within the structure - the outlook of the tower is a direct result of the concept of sitting inside it. The tower is a beacon or a landmark in the surrounding landscape. During Cascoland Rob interviewed six people about the theme ´where is home´. For him home doesn´t only mean what the house looks like. It is also about how you feel inside and how you relate to the environment around you. The people Rob invited for his radio tower project came from New Crossroads and the inner city of Cape Town. People of different colors and backgrounds. The interviews will be broadcasted on the local radio station Radio Zibonele 98.2 FM, in their program Community Issues.
