Unframed: A Curated Cape Town Street Art Experience
Details
An exploration of art through time.
Unframed is a small-group, car-based street art tour exploring Cape Town’s visual storytelling — beginning at the First Nations Heritage Centre, where we set the cultural and historical context, before moving through the city to view political murals, protest art, and contemporary street art.
The tour focuses on understanding why walls were painted, who painted them, and what the city was saying at the time. This is a contextual, conversation-led experience rather than a fast-paced walking tour.
