Less than a week after a series of photographs were erected in Cape Town, they have been vandalised.

She said the attack on the artwork was a clear indication of the need to have honest conversations, as many South Africans still suffered in silence.

"There’s a lot of unspoken pain and anger around conversations of identity and race in South Africa, which needs to be heard. So I am happy to be creating a platform for that. It shows the need for more work that speaks to those kind of conversations, especially in relations to white people: white artists focusing on work about whiteness,” she said.Smith said she was uncertain if she would take legal action against the alleged perpetrators.

Infecting The City, one of the city's longest running arts festivals, takes place over six days and seeks to showcase an array of art forms. “I am grateful that I have been able to do this project and received funding to have it publicly installed. I hope it is able to be further engaged in that public space,” she added.
