Salt River street art tour

A guided walking tour through Salt River, one of Cape Town’s most visually expressive neighbourhoods. Once an industrial hub, Salt River has evolved into an open-air gallery where large-scale murals, graffiti, and public art cover warehouse walls and side streets.

The tour unpacks:

• Artists behind the work

• Political and social commentary embedded in the murals

• The area’s industrial past and ongoing urban change (some local residents understandably call this, a major challenge

• How faith communities, including mosques, churches and small Christian ministries, sit in the streetscape and community life

A highlight is visiting Community House, where social activism particularly during Apartheid, literary covers the walls. (We will be organising a tour of Community House soon).

I really enjoyed the relaxed nature of the tour, even the easy way we were able to meet and connect with new people. Kate has a knack for making people feel at ease, and anticipating their needs- even letting us know where there would be toilet facilities. Her knowledge astounds me, and I learned so much more than I expected! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for another tour to join. Jenny, architect
