Outtasight Blind Art Tour

Embark on an enlightening journey through the heart of Salt River, a vibrant neighbourhood pulsating with creativity and history. 

The AWOL guide will meet you at your hotel and transfer you and accompany by vehicle to meet up with Winston Fani, your blind guide at The South African Institute for the Blind. Your two hour tour with Winston will commence at The South African Institute for the Blind where our dedicated AWOL guide will greet you at 10 am. Alternatively, the meeting time can be tailored to your convenience, ensuring a personalized experience.

Under the guidance of a remarkable blind tour guide, you will be immersed in a private walking tour spanning approximately 2 hours. This unique expedition is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both sighted individuals and those with visual impairments. As you traverse the picturesque streets of Salt River, you will be captivated by the allure of public art wall murals adorning the surroundings. Additionally, our path leads us to intimate local art studios, where intricate sculptures and diverse artistic endeavours come to life.

A highlight of this expedition is our visit to Community House, an invaluable institution offering profound insights into the tapestry of South African and, more specifically, Cape Town's history. Here, the tour delves into the narratives of struggle, resilience, and triumph, spanning the challenging era of Apartheid and extending into the beyond.

This remarkable journey is made possible through the collaborative efforts of Cape Town Tourism, BazArt, and AWOL tours. It stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to nurturing our local community and ensuring that the treasures of Cape Town are accessible to all. The tour's fruition is a tribute to inclusivity and an homage to the rich cultural heritage of our beloved city.

We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to unveil the artistic wonders of Salt River through the unique perspective of Winston Fani, offering you a glimpse into the world through "unsighted eyes." Prepare to be inspired, enlightened, and deeply moved as you embark on this extraordinary adventure.
