Before I Die...

Last month at the i heart market we were lucky enough to be part of a larger initaitive - the Before I Die wall hosted by Marissa Whittle, Honours student at Vega, and Moses Mabhida Stadium. 

Before I Die is an interactive public art project that invites people to share their hopes and dreams in public space. 

The first KZN Before I Die wall was a great success. Visitors of the stadium jumped at the opportunity to interact with the wall. People from all over South Africa and as far afield as Finland and Pakistan grabbed chalk and shared their dreams with the world. 

This is what some of them had to say. 

Before I die I want to...


Help people help others
Live an extraordinary life
Make a difference even if just with a smile
Help the underprivileged in my community
Reach one million children with my conservation message
Save the world through cycling
Be bold enough to be whoever I want to be
Blow a million rand just like THAT!
See the end to Police brutality
Go on a food journey
See my wife cancer free
Know that I have parented children who care more about the world and others than things and themselves 

There are over 375 walls in 60 countries around the world in 25 different languages. 
Well done, to all involved to in the Durban wall.
What an inspiring way to bring a community together!

What's up in June?

We, here at I heart market have a few things planned for June... 

Firstly, there is our usual I heart market day at Moses Mabhida Stadium on the 1st June. Hopefully the weather is going to be as gorgeous as it has been for the last few weeks and it will be a lovely day out for all. 

Next up, we are launching our Share a Square campaign in collaboration with Spiga. 

We are asking all you crafty people out there to knit or crochet as many 12cm squares as you can so that we can stitch them up to make blankets for the under privileged. 

We would like to encourage as many people as possible to get on board. Please ask your schools/book clubs/churches/local old age homes to help us out. 

Finally, after the great success of our Suitcase Showcase at Spiga in April, we have decided to host a Winter Suitcase Showcase at Spiga on the 29th June from 10am to 2pm and we will be carefully selecting traders to fit the theme.

We had a grand day in the Spiga courtyard last time and know it will be just as much fun this time. Bring your #shareasquare squares to drop off at our Suitcase Showcase and join us for a cocktail.

Hope to see you there!

Marvelous March Market

A bright and sunny day

Last weekend the clouds parted, the sun shined and the eager wait was over as we welcomed another exciting I Heart Market. It was a hive of activity with trendy folk, foodies and family outings - what better way to spend a Saturday than surrounded by trinkets, music and tasty delights!

Once again it was a grand success. Traders showcased their creativity with an old school record playlist in the background. It was a day of laughs, good food and style created by the traders and those who visited. We can’t wait for the next one!
