The Joint Venture of The Trinity Session and 26’10 South Architects, in partnership with Feizel Mamdoo, has been appointed as Public Art Commissioning Agents for the Pageview, Vrededorp and Fordsburg Public Art Project (PVF Public Art) as part of the Pageview Vrededorp and Fordsburg urban upgrade by the Johannesburg Development Agency and the City of Johannesburg. This project encompasses the realisation of an artwork along the retaining walls of the De La Rey Street subway under the railway bridge connecting Vrededorp and Fordsburg. Following an ongoing process of consultation with a targeted local community for the design and realisation of the project, the artist team Rookeya Gardee, Bronwyn Lace and Reg Pakari have created a design that has brought together personal and historical stories, images and references of Fietas, the subway and Fordsburg.

The artwork will be launched during this year’s Fietas Festival on 26 September 2009.
