Launch of Hotel Yeoville

 

The Hotel Yeoville Project has just opened to the public in the brand new public library on Raleigh Street.  Hotel Yeoville is not a hotel!  It’s a community website and an interactive art project available for the use of residents of Yeoville and Bellevue. Adding a new frequency to the trans-continental whispers upstairs at the new  library, Hotel Yeoville is a ground-breaking public art project which, by way of freshly designed digital interfaces, keys into the diversity of immigrant and South African experiences that make the legendary suburb of Yeoville such a hot melting pot.  

Come into the library at the specific hours mentioned below, and check it out!  Raphael Bope, Godfrey Tshis Talabulu, and Brittany Wheeler are there to show you around and guide you through how to use it.
