A new art exhibition is currently on show at the top of Table Mountain, paying tribute to the life and work of the late, traditional bushveld artist VetKat Regopstaan Kruiper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often described as a \u201cLiving National Treasure\u201d, Kruiper\u2019s art offers a contemporary expression of ancient Khoisan knowledge, spirituality and a deep connection to the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition combines landscape, culture and storytelling, encouraging reflection on identity, continuity and a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artwork<\/a> is on display daily at VIEWS by De Grendel at the Top Station until Sunday 15 February from 08:00 to 19:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition was brought to life by the VetKat Art Foundation \u2013 a Khoisan Heritage Art & Culture project led by his partner Belinda Kruiper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kruiper said VetKat produced his art naturally in pen, ink and felt-tip, and adds that it bridges ancient Khoisan knowledge with the modern world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said his artwork challenge outdated myths of extinction and instead present heritage as something living, evolving and relevant today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe art is not just about VetKat it\u2019s about all of Cape Town. Always try and look at life with a touch of innocence before you judge. VetKat was always like a child, smiling and playful. But when he drew he absorbed all his energy like a child sitting in the sand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition forms part of a partnership with Siyakha Consulting, an organisation focused on empowering heritage-based initiatives that preserve, celebrate and responsibly commercialise South Africa\u2019s cultural and natural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wahida Parker, Managing Director at Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC<\/a>), said by creating platforms for artists like VetKat, TMACC shows that responsible tourism includes cultural inclusion, heritage preservation and community participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe mountain is revered by the first nation people. They have a deep relationship which is spiritual in nature. We felt it opportune to reconjure that deep connection with the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first nation people have for generations touted the message if sustainability and protecting the environment. That resonate with us and in society today that is critically important to make people understand the importance of protecting our heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan Taplin, Park Manager for South African National Parks (SANParks) encouraged people to visit the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to see this heritage honoured in such a significant place. Belinda Kruiper and her family truly are part of the SANParks family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Belinda began her career in 1997 at what is now the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, and her family remains closely involved with the park and the surrounding community. It\u2019s wonderful to have them visiting us in Cape Town and sharing their heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
