Anchor presenter: Dawn Matthews
Books: Hettie Scholtz
All of the arts are featured: theatre and sculpture, architecture and landscape design, classical music and pottery, ballet and modern dance, fine art and street painting, literature and installations, computer art and the Internet, photography and cartoons. Anything from profiles, happenings in the art world to up to date round-ups.
"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.
* The ceramic artist Hennie Meyer just came back from an international ceramic fair in London. Dawn went for a visit in Cape Town, where they talked about the fair and about his famous teapots.
* Hettie is back with her regular book chat, and this week she talks about books that enlighten those dark and unknown places in ones heart and mind. Under discussion is Andrea Bosch's One Woman Walking - love, loss and liberation - a journey through divorce; The Wisdom of the Enneagram and Malcolm Gladwell's Blink and The Tipping Point.
* We drop in at Tina Skukans' Gallery in Pretoria where Hanneke Benadé's work is currently on display. Her lifelike pastel works is quickly becoming much sought after items all across South Africa.
* Johan Louw is exhibiting his oil paintings at the Irma Stern Museum in the Cape, and it consists of landscapes and male figures. We went to have a look.
