The programme captures data, conversation, and creative details for future analysis, discussion, and distribution. Organisers are motivated by the belief that local creativity can be both a multidisciplinary cultural experience as well as a response to conceptual challenges at regional, national, international, and global levels. Information and communication technology (ICT) is used in several of Tangencya's projects to share artistic visions and invite response and participation; face-to-face interaction is also central.

Tangencya includes 10 projects initially:

1. Zam' ukuziphilisa [try to live] project - an architectural effort modifying a self-help and beading workshop in Umlazi K Section.
2. The Durban Art Gallery Collection (DAG) Online project - a website offered by pilotfish allows viewing of the DAG contemporary collection, digitally; the goal is to embrace certain historically-based ideas of artistic production and the context within which it is shown by seeking alternative languages and modes of representation for creativity.
3. Cato Manor project - an interactive outdoor children's musical instrument meant to encourage a love and appreciation of music in the area.
4. Golden Gateway Hindu Temple in Cato Manor project - an intervention that explores issues of urban hybridity and the historical disintegration and reintegration of the city façade.
5. Taxi Rank in the City of Durban project - a life-size taxi (minibus) built out of recycled materials serves as a site of consultancy where the public gets engaged around the complex issues of public transport. Comments are collected and delivered to city officials and interested parties at the end of the exhibition.
6. Kwa Muhle/Local History Museum project - draws attention to issues of social fragmentation and new constructions of personal visions as integral to post-colonial/apartheid South Africa.
7. Dineo Bopape and Themba Shibase project - acknowledges and embraces two young Durban artists who made a video examining the idea of multiple urban interfaces and exploring urban decay and rejuvenation. Their endeavour was to create a portrait of Durban to reveal the rich social textures of the city.
8. Wentworth project - looks at environmental issues resulting from industrial pollution and its impact on the South Durban community.
9. Documentation Centre project - an animal-based Indian/African deity will be housed at the centre.
10. Fiona Kirkwood project - a prominent arts personality created an installation called "Survivial" and then spoke to the public about HIV/AIDS, collaborating with the Centre for HIV/AIDS Networking (HIVAN) and the reproductive health research unit.

Environment, Rights.

“Tangencya has acknowledged how artistic production has been selectively promoted in the past. In order to attempt to rectify this, it has engaged those artists that have been previously marginalized in an attempt to position them within the embrace of an international arts project. The idea is to introduce them slowly into the project and to engage them as independent artists for future participation in Tangencya.

The project also hopes to have a fringe exhibition at the African Art Centre and will produce a catalogue, a video and hold two panel discussions within the city. The project also hopes to have a fringe exhibition; a catalogue; a project video and discussion groups.”
