This MA episode explores interconnectedness and features as a Fruit of the Week article on our website. This episode shares the personal experiences of moving through the city through the lenses of Lehlohonolo and Neo in response to Lauren Hill’s Everything is Everything song. Describing the textures and sounds of Cape Town city, this episode is an intimate commentary on the network and emotional experience, the intangibility that gives a city its sense of place and zeitgeist. This episode serves as a detailed description of the place that Cape Town is in politically, socially and segregated 2018- yet with an optimism of the undeniable interconnectedness urban dwellers have as they cross paths. Infrastructure and interconnectedness are a contested combination in Cape Town and this episode gives a unique commentary on these realities of (in)tangible mobility. “How are we connected as human beings beyond just the physical?” - an important an often avoided question in spatial practice and education made to be objectified in an ever-present subjective urban landscape. This episode is narrated by Khensani de Klerk and was written by Lehlohonolo Ndlovu and Neo Twala; originally published as an article on February 14th 2018.
