CapFest Stories
Costume and identity
As a fashion historian, Ivan Sayers thinks as much about the time and place of a garment’s origins as he does the clothing itself.
CapU lights up the night
The colourful light show inspired by the University’s brand palette started with a bang, then built to a sparkling finale.
Escape at CapFest
Racing against a deadline in an escape room to problem-solve sounds like a situation to be avoided to some. For others, joining forces with friends to achieve a common goal sounds like fun.
Mr. Bannock: something good, something great
Paul Natrall’s uncle was a hunter. Natrall grew up eating venison burgers with spaghetti and moose stew with chow mein.
