POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Ricardo Nobangela sketches as he listens. It’s how he reads a room — translating ideas into spatial possibilities. With a foot in urban planning and another in live illustration, his practice sits right at the intersection of cities, culture and community.

This drawing was made on the @blackbrickgardens rooftop during our @designweeksouthafrica Form + Dialogue activation: @afrosynth ‘s David Durbach in conversation with illustrator @big_diff_ Darren Christian about his visual world-building for the new Sandy B release — imagining a Durban that looks forward, not back.
The sketch becomes a record of the exchange: thinking made visible.

Still buzzing from yesterday! 🖤✨ We journeyed together through three iconic historic sites — connecting stories of our practice in the city, design, and heritage along the way — and wrapped it all up at the stunning @blackbrickgardens and @atras_capetown. The perfect rooftop finale: tunes by @afrosynth, good conversations with @big_diff_ , and that feeling of “wow, we did that.”
Huge love to @designweeksouthafrica for backing our mission and this wild, wonderful activation. More adventures, more intentional impactful making, more storytelling, more community — we’re only getting started.
Xoxo 💫

A piece inspired by sustainability and painted by hand in the mids of an international pandemic.
