South Africa (Mzansi for locals) celebrates DC characters with a masterclass by three local DC artists — Warren Louw, Jason Masters and Karl Mostert — illustrating their favorite characters and sharing how DC has inspired their work, as well as up-and-coming artist Bill Masuku. We’ll also unveil a DC tribute mural by local artist Keith Vlahakis. South Africa’s program will be hosted by well-known gaming personality Sam “Tech Girl” Wright as she welcomes local talent and their love for the DC Universe.

“We’ve gathered six southern-African storytellers in Cape Town for the first stage of their Design Futures storytelling project. In December we put out a call for entries and a few weeks later we undertook an intensive screening process of over 170 portfolios across various creative disciplines. Competition was tough, talent was amazing, but we had to make a decision.

Design Futures project aims to encourage conversations about design, sustainability and the circular economy. We’re also seeking a deeper understanding about the Sub-Saharan Africa design sector. The selected storytellers have been tasked with creating narratives about the journeys of six designers whose work embodies circular design and sustainability. These designers attended the Circular Futures Lab 2019 which followed the Ellen McArthur Foundation’s circular design framework and was hosted by the British Council in the UK. “
