The world is said to be in the grip of an “animation boom”. This is related to an increase in the consumption of digital content in the wake of lockdowns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The South African Cultural Observatory is inviting industry stakeholders to participate in a face to face workshop that will delve deeper into the report.

The South African Cultural Observatory invites you to attend a Dissemination Workshop. Despite the growing interest in the contribution of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) to growth and job creation in South Africa, innovation is still mostly focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) sectors. There is currently little research on how digital technology has influenced innovation, particularly in the increasingly evident overlaps between the digital and creative sectors, and how such firms create, use and protect their intellectual property. This research examines the nexus between digital technologies, innovation, intellectual property, and diversity in the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) drawing on two SACO reports: An analysis of the SA gaming and animation sector; and data from a cluster of CCI firms in Cape Town that combine digital technology with creative inputs to produce goods and services.

SA Cultural Observatory releases report on the impact of Covid-19 on Cultural and Creative Industries. In late March, soon after President Ramaphosa announced several measures to curtail the spread of the coronavirus in the country, the South African Cultural Observatory undertook a study to evaluate the impact of Covid-19 and associated measures on the cultural and creative industries (CCIs). This took the form of both the online survey and economic data analysis to find out what impact the measures were having on businesses and freelancers in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), the adaptation strategies that the sector was using, and the most useful kinds of support that could be provided. The survey ran from the 30th of March to the 4th of May 2020, and thus provides an early assessment of the impact of the shutdown on the sector.

Both nationally and internationally, there is a growing acknowledgement of the important role that arts, culture and heritage play in economic growth and development. Economic impact studies are a powerful way of demonstrating the financial benefits of hosting cultural festivals and events and can be effective in communicating the value of the event to funders, local residents and other stakeholders. However, the methods used need to be valid and based on realistic, verifiable data. Economic impact studies can also be expensive. The South African Cultural Observatory has developed the South African Festivals Economic Impact Calculator (SAFEIC), which is a free online economic impact tool specifically to estimate the economic impact of a festival on a host economy. It has been carefully, and conservatively, designed by and international team of university economists so as to produce results that are as reliable and valid as possible for a wide range of events.
