Buyaphi University: A statement on free education

What began as a spur-of-the moment project seven years ago with curious neighbourhood children, has culminated in a sort of permanent art installation that also serves as a place of “free learning and thinking” for local youth, international and domestic visitors. It offers a brightly coloured oasis for the eye in the otherwise bland and dusty surroundings typical of Gauteng township topography.

The irony of his arrangement is not lost on him and in fact, he sees it as a sort of challenge to ideas around space, land and the use of these. Formal education has walls and a ceiling, but Buyaphi University is in the open space and accessible to all. “But how do you say kids must go and photograph violence because initially the project was about gender-based violence,” he thinks out loud.
