On the 1st of October 2020, The Centre for the Less Good Idea launched a 6 months project titled The Highway Notice Project.
The Highway Notice Project was created in response to the Corona crisis and the need for continued physical distancing. Two billboards on the M1 and M2 highway in Johannesburg were identified to hold a series of newly commissioned monthly artworks.
In this final video, curator of the project, Bronwyn Lace invited performer, writer and musician Bongile Lecoge-Zulu to respond to the series.
