Winds of change finally blow for local artists, school children

WHEN art and infrastructure work together, communities feel seen, opportunity grows, and the future becomes something we build together.

THE Blowing Art Initiative at the Impofu Wind Farm in the Eastern Cape gives local creators a high-profile canvas and young people a formative experience that blends science, design, and teamwork.

That is the motto driving a creative community project that turns renewable energy infrastructure into a living gallery. The Blowing Art Initiative at the Impofu Wind Farm in the Eastern Cape was birthed when Enel Green Power South Africa partnered with three acclaimed South African artists, Falko, Motel, and Bushy, along with school learners to paint murals on selected wind turbines, bringing colour, story, and a sense of belonging to a site that powers progress in the province.
