In Cape Town, South Africa the design firms Design Indaba Trust and Thinking have teamed up with artist Faith47 to help raise funds to bring more light to their urban city. Their goal is to raise funds to light up 700 meters of Manwabisi Park, which will ultimately reduce the crime rate in the area through more light. In order to get the community involved in the project, they have combined street art with community engagement. They have created a 6 months mural titled “The Harvet” which hangs on a residential building that lights up when the hashtag #ANOTHERLIGHTUP is promoted.
