I took a train from Fish Hoek to Muizenberg and back again on Saturday morning.
It’s been years since I caught a train in Cape Town. This was not your average train trip because I was there as part of an art activation flash mob (or art mob?) to promote Open Studios Fish Hoek & Clovelly in October.
Passengers were bemused and amused by the larger-than-life cellphones, frying pans, and hoovers that were on display. When we got to Muizenberg station we crossed to the other platform where we waited for the next train to take us back to Fish Hoek.
I’ll be catching the train again, what a smooth ride. Meanwhile, save the date for the weekend of 9, 10, 11 October, when artists from Clovelly and Fish Hoek invite you into their studios for the second annual open weekend. See Open Studios Fish Hoek & Clovelly for profiles on participating artists and a map.
