We started this recap series with the intent to show 6 photos from each day of STR.CRD (coz "6 shots" sounded sexy), but we've realized you can't reasonably squeeze all there is to see into such limited snaps — alas, we've upgraded to a less-sexy "10 shots."

A record 6,800 festival-goers joined us on Constitution Hill for STR.CRD's main event on Saturday. There were graffiti writers, dancers, skateboarders, BMXers, and in general some very stylish young people. The pop-up shops and simultaneous outdoor sport events were buzzing with people who love the culture and aesthetic of "the streets." Which streets this refers to isn't entirely clear — I'd say NYC street/streetwear culture, but that wouldn't be fair to the uniqueness that the kids here have given their crafts. We spoke to a few of the international guests from Art Comes First and Street Etiquette and they too agree that there's a special quality to the strains of self expression in Joburg — and it's not necessarily limited to those with expendable incomes (in fact, admission to STR.CRD was free this year for social media users). Check out our shots below and take a wild guess at how much fun we had this year. Thanks again to Karabo Maine and Anthony Bila for holding down OKA's media team.
