Background
Acommon marketplace in South Africa for creative township entrepreneurs is therobots, where one can buy anything from car phone chargers to ear muffs, from knock-off sunglasses to country flags. What you’ll also find there are the awesomely talented Robot Artists.
Risking arrest, harsh weather and enduring the often the rude and judgemental comments of passer-bys, these artists are committed to sell their township art to support their families often left behind in Zimbabwe and Malawi...
"Robot Artists" was featured at the Really Short Film Fest hosted in Cape Town.
