"Kunskafee" is not recorded in a studio. The backdrop is always a different location - a theatre, an exhibition, a gallery, an interesting garden or innovative architectural design, etc.
Although the programme is presented in Afrikaans, local and international artists are also featured in the line-up.
The programme does not only give insightful profiles on artists and happenings in the South African arts world. It also includes a weekly roundup that alternates between CD launches, productions, exhibitions and recitals in the Western Cape and Gauteng.
* Our backdrop this week is the home of artist Richard Scott who moved to Melkbosstrand a while back. His new exhibition, Light Years Away, is currently on at the Rossouw Gallery in Cape Town, and is a retrospective look at his work of the last three years.
* The new exhibition opening at the Moja Modern is Chris Diedericks' Mavericks, Magicians and Immortals. All his latest work is full of literary references, and his current work is no exception.
* We talk to Revel Fox, the director of the latest local movie on circuit called The Flyer.
* The new Rupert Museum in Stellenbosch hosts some of the work from the Rupert Art Collection. It includes work from some of the most famous artists from South Africa.
* We pop in at the Baxter where the international acclaimed drama, Jesus hopped the "A" Train is now showing.
