The Scene Cape Town app analytics for September 24

The Scene Cape Town is a digital network built by local artists for the city’s cultural sector. It replaces opaque algorithms and closed group chats with a direct, permeable medium to engage with local arts. Our ambition is not to make a hyperscale global platform that aggregates the noise of the world, but a context-responsive network that enables residents and visitors to connect with the cultural pulse of the city. Built on principles of human curation, opt-in data collection, and community digital infrastructure, we are developing a new medium for connecting Cape Town’s cultural economy.
