“At Latitudes, our mission is to make art accessible while championing opportunities for local artists, and we’re proud to continue this journey with rain,” says Roberta Coci, co-founder of Latitudes. “As the official connectivity partner at this year’s RMB Latitudes Art Fair, rain once again will provide free wifi to over 9,000 visitors, ensuring seamless connection throughout the event. But they’ve gone beyond infrastructure, through an inspired collaboration with six Latitudes artists, rain has launched a new collection of router skins that bring art directly into people’s homes. It’s a powerful example of how local brands can use their platforms to celebrate South African creativity and foster a deeper love of art across the country.”
