Friday 20 April Cape Town ccSalon: Bring ‘n Braai The Armchair Theatre, 8pm
Creative Commons Salons have been hosted around the world – from Johannesburg to San Francisco, New York to Berlin, and in Melbourne, and now it’s time for the Mother City to have her turn.
A ccSalon is a community-building event focused on creating networks and opening communication between free culture enthusiasts, digital artists, musicians and creators. And what better way to find out about the workings of the free culture movement than from the gurus, Larry Lessig and Jimmy Wales, themselves?
In true South African spirit, the theme of the event is ‘Bring ‘n Braai‘. That’s because we want you to add to the communal stockpile of South African digital goods, by donating your music, photos or art to be used in education projects, such as the One Laptop per Child project. Here’s how you can donate to the commons.
The event will also provide a space for CC enthusiasts to showcase their talents. The South African winner of the SAfro-Brazil Remix competition, Whispa and his Brazilian counterpart, Lucio K, will be playing their winning beats, along with a host of local bands such as Cabins in the Forest and Closet Snare.
If you are in the Cape Town area, get yourselves down to The Armchair Theatre on Friday, 20 April at 8pm. This is one you don’t want to miss.
