During August and September, over 70 learners at local primary schools have been attending creative workshops as part of the Princess Vlei Forum’s Living Waters Project, funded by the City of Cape Town’s Grant in Aid fund. The learners came together to tie-dye T-shirts, and to create colourful fish puppets. They will wear the T-shirts and carry the puppets in a procession on 12 October. The intention is for the procession to create a “river” as it winds through the streets of Retreat and Sassmeer Estate, and onto Princess Vlei. In the words of one of the learners, ‘it was very fun to do the tie-dye’. Their pride in their work can be seen in their portraits below. These projects give learners who have limited access to art materials an opportunity to learn skills, and explore their creativity, while also learning the deeper lessons of taking action to safeguard our freshwater and marine ecosystems.
