The SunStar sculpture was conceptualised and designed by Cape Town artist and founder of the Robben Island Art Company & Trust (RIACT), Christopher Swift. It is also a showcase project for Cape Town: World Design Capital 2014. The SunStar is a temporary art installation that utilises much of the original fence that once surrounded Robben Island in its construction.

“We’d like to thank the City of Cape Town for hosting the SunStar, which has become an iconic sight for many people in the short time it has been on Signal Hill. With its message of hope and belief in the future we are proud to be able to give this work of art a permanent home at Sun City, as Sun International’s flagship resort. By giving it a permanent home it is our intention to honour the message of hope and looking to the future that is part of Chris Swift’s work,”
