memorIal event@25

06.04.2013, 12h00 – 18h00 Goethe-Institut, Auditorium, Johannesburg

Visual artist and activist Zanele Muholi’s non-profit organisation Inkanyiso

presents @25, an event to commemorate the lives of Buhle Msibi (1981 -

2006) and Busi Sigasa (1982 - 2007), black lesbian cultural activists, who

both passed away at the age of 25.

Buhle Msibi was a proud lesbian mother, poet and writer, as well as

actress, singer and lyricist who was involved in every aspect of the work

of Forum for the Empowerment of Women (FEW) from the early stages.

She was a leading member of the SAfroDykes and the FEW performing

group, for which she wrote, directed and performed in a number of

dramatic and musical productions.

Busi Sigasa also went by the name “(Queen) Latifah”, something of a

testimony to her aspirations. She was a writer and poet like Buhle, but

preferred the printed medium to the stage. A hustler who was neither

afraid of hard work nor of speaking her mind, Busi was one of FEW’s more

vocal and energetic volunteers.

Inkanyiso invites you to come celebrate the life and work of these two

passionate and fearless human rights defenders, who had already made

such a mark when they passed...@ 25. A number of poets and writers will

be featured at the event and will participate in conversations about art,

activism, human rights, and well-being. The event will be facilitated by

Donna A. M. Smith, co-founder and former CEO of FEW, who also writes

and performs poetry. Zanele Muholi’s 2006 FEW documentary will also be

screened at the event.

From the 7 –13 April 2013 Grayscale Concepts will host the 3rd annual

“City Of Gold” urban Art Festival in Johannesburg South Africa.

The festival aims at rejuvenating dilapidated or forgotten urban spaces

through the painting of large-scale graffiti/street art murals. Graffiti

and Street Art are often misunderstood by the general public at large.

The festival also hopes to educate the public audience and demonstrate

the positive and constructive roles these art forms can play in the

urban environment, while at the same time inspiring the local youth and

establishing Joburg as a destination for international artists.

The 2013 edition will feature the well respected German artist herakut

who was invited by the Goethe-Institut, well as other international and

some of South Africa’s finest graffiti artists.

roughly every two months, we will screen a German film with english sub-

titles at our auditorium. On Tuesday, 9 April, we start with Die Fetten Jahre

sind vorbei, an acclaimed feature film from 2004:

Jan and Peter share a flat in berlin, a Volkswagen bus, and ideas on how to

take action against social injustice. They spy on luxury mansions and break

in when the owners are not at home. They do not steal anything; instead,

they re-arrange the furniture and leave what they hope are unsettling

notes, such as “You have too much money” or “Your days of plenty are

numbered”, and sign themselves as “The Edukators”. Peter’s girlfriend Jule

has just lost her flat because she fell behind with the rent, and moves in

with Peter and Jan. She joins them in their subversive activities. But when a

rich businessman catches them in the act, they rashly decide to kidnap him.

Faced with the values of the generation in power, they will see what kind

of revolutionaries they are, if their friendship can survive, and discover

if they truly work in the interest of the greater good or just in their own

self-interest. Passions rage and loyalties shatter in director hans Wein-

gartner’s exciting film that’s “Fresh, biting, gripping, tender, and tense”

(The Telegraph On Sunday).

A film by hans Weingartner. With daniel brühl, Julia Jentsch, Stipe erceg

One of the two has fundamentally changed our understanding of space and

time, the other one, at the age of 29, was considered to be the most promi-

nent romancer of the modern age. Though their nature differed substantial-

ly, they were united through their encouragement for the Weimar republic

and their vehement rejection of national Socialism. not only abroad, but

definitely since they were forcefully emigrated in 1933, Albert einstein and

Thomas Mann were ranked to be among the representatives of the “better

Germany”. The presentation aims to draw out the careers and the points of

that shaped their respective countries’ literature.

This edition of new South African Voices explores the role of literatur

in the fight against apartheid in South Africa and in the struggle for

independence in Indonesia. Through literature and poetry, the invited

authors examine how colonialism shaped both countries and the impact

that the Cape Malay tradition had on South Africa and its culture.

Toeti heraty and Miriam Tlali (both born in 1933) are not only skilled

writers but also have been brave fighters for women’s rights and

political change for decades. Both will discuss writing today with a

younger generation of poets, namely Saut Situmorang and rustum

Kozain (both born in 1966). Together our guests will look at how

transformation has enabled new ways of writing and reflection. they

will discuss which of these changes are global phenomena and which are

specifically Indonesian or South African.

This special edition of the new South African Voices series features

Indonesian poets who have traveled to Southern Africa as part of the

„What is poetry“ project, which aims at sharing poetry and discussing

the meaning of language in shaping individual and national identities.

The next edition takes place on 28.05.2013 (check in this programme).

Unlearning is an exhibition and project about losing knowledge – whether

through erasure, amnesia, overwriting, disguising, reducing, ridiculing, hid-

ing, covering, mimicking or undermining.

Performed on-site at GoetheonMain as a growing installation, Unlearning

will investigate the prospect of losing knowledge through practical appli-

cation, staged conversations and theoretical research. used intermittently

as a classroom, a stage, a laboratory and an office, the installation will

develop within the space as an adisciplinary, intertextual bricolage.

Unlearning will feature words, images and objects by Francis Burger,

Pamella Dlungwana, Georgia Munnik and others. A workshop involving

language games and experiments will run for one of the two weeks of

the exhibition.

Unlearning by Francis Burger with Pamella Dlungwana, Georgia Munnik

and others runs at GoetheonMain, from Thursday 2 May to Sunday 19 May,

with the public opening on Sunday, 12 May at 14h00. For details of the

fIlm & exhIbItIon ProJeCt: tell them we are from here

10.05.2013 19h00 ThE BIOSCOPE, 286 FOx STrEET, MABOnEnG PrECInCT

taking as point of departure Akin omotoso’s award winning film Man

on Ground, the interactive exhibition Tell them we are from here is an

initiative to stimulate continued dialogue about xenophobia within South

African communities. the film Man on Ground was inspired by the photo

of Ernesto nhamuave, the Mozambican man who was burnt alive during

the 2008 xenophobic attacks. The image became a symbol for the riots

and nhamuave became known as ‘The Burning Man’. In 2013, recently

another Mozambican man was dragged by a police van to his death,

which highlights the importance to keep the dialogue around identity and

belonging alive and vibrant.

The exhibition, which is timed to coincide with the 5th anniversary of the

2008 attacks, includes three two-minute films, photography and text - all

revolving around the theme of xenophobia. the short films are based on

the responses from the screenings of Man on Ground in communities in

Cape Town, Durban, Musina and Mpumalanga.

The event starts with the opening of the interactive exhibition Tell them

we are from here introduced by Akin omotoso. At 8 pm there will be film

screenings of The Burning Man – Ernesto Alfabeto Nhamuave by Adze

ugah (24 min) and Man on Ground (80 min) followed by a discussion. The

exhibition will be on show until the 19th of May and also form part of the

Film+School programme.

The initial inspiration for this project came from an idea presented in

Imraan Coovadia’s novel The Institute for Taxi Poetry. In this book, Coovadia

introduces into the taxi industry a new player, a new role – namely that of

the taxi poet.

Karabo Kgoleng and Zen Marie’s project looks to explore the role of words

and poems in speaking to the multiplicity of people and perspectives within

the taxi industry and the city. The theme of the project is centred on the

concept of love, or love poems. The tradition of writing love poetry is as

age-old as it is diverse, ranging from poems that celebrate or yearn for a

loved one, to poems that regret or suffer from non-reciprocated love. For

Taxi Poetry, 30 of Gauteng’s commuter taxis will be plastered with poetry

created by South African writers. The taxis will meet for a Show & Shine

event on 12 May in Maponya Mall’s parking lot – with music, braai & poetry.

Shown for the first time in Johan-

nesburg, Sabelo Mhlangeni’s pho-

tographic exhibition Isivumelwano:

An Agreement comprises a series of

photographs shot at various South-

ern African wedding ceremonies. The

project began with the documenta-

tion of weddings in South African

townships, and continued with an

exploration of these ceremonies in

Lesotho, Mozambique and Swaziland.

The resulting body of work focuses on the beauty and ornate nature of

these ceremonies, as well as the traditions and attire that embrace the adapt-

ability of cultures. Wedding ceremonies in black Southern African cultures

are significant gatherings, often with more than one day of celebrations.

Isivumelwano looks at the way Southern African cultures have been adapted

over the years looking particularly at the amalgamation of African cultural

practices and Western white wedding rituals. The show will travel to Leso-

tho, Mozambique and Swaziland between 2013 and 2014.

Sue Williamson’s series of portraits of women in the struggle, A Few South

Africans (1983-1987), became icons of the struggle era. Postcards of these

brave and powerful women were pinned up in homes everywhere. Thirty

years later, the artist has been revisiting these women: those who still live

in South Africa, and others who lived in exile at the time. During those

meetings, she interviewed them together with their granddaughters, or

with a young woman with whom they feel a strong connection.

What were the histories and values of the older generation? have those

values changed? how do they compare with what the youth of today

feel is important? What advice would they hand on? In turn, the younger

women were asked if they accepted that advice, and whether they felt the

sacrifices of the older generation had been worth it. the responses were

deeply felt and often surprising.

The exhibition will open at the Goodman Gallery Johannesburg on

Thursday, May 16, and the multi-screen video installation will also be

accompanied by a series of photographs of women taken by the artist

over a thirty year period.

In doing so, the story’s form chang-

es, the narrative gains some details

and loses others, while the focus

and theme shift. Stories contribute

to the creation of a common iden-

tity and sense of belonging. Sto-

rytelling has been a vital medium

that African communities relied on

to communicate about current af-

fairs, updates on events, and life’s

lessons. Communities were brought

together and serious matters were

aired in a very informal way.

WOrDS uP! invites artists like Tumelo Khoza, Mpho Khosi, Masai Dabula,

Dineo ‘Dee’ rasedile and Erik Paliane to showcase their spoken word

skills and engage the audience in an exciting torrent of words and stories.

The artists compete against each other to win a trip to Antananarivo,

Madagascar, where they will engage with local artists and participate in

further spoken word events. Well established local spoken word artists

will function as the jury. WOrDS uP! then travels to nairobi, Abidjan and

four other African cities. Together, the artists will weave a great narrative

that crosses boundaries, countries and languages. Performances will be

filmed and made available on an online-platform that serves to document

this oral tradition.

From Oedipus rex to the holy Family in the new Testament to Thomas

Mann’s Buddenbrocks or Shimmer Chinodya´s Strife – world literature

boasts many poignant family tales. Few fields of life have been so emo-

tionally charged as that of the family: A place of love and protection but

also a place of tremendous conflicts and tragedies.

South Africa has a long history of immigration and its society has been

strongly influenced by the many people that came here to seek fortune or

freedom. Each family that has arrived and lived here brought with it a new

culture and a different way of life.

Seen through the lens of family life, how do two South African writers

Ashraf Kagee Maren Bodenstein

whose families hail from Germany and India depict the country’s historical

and social change in their work?

To explore this question, the Goethe-Institut hosts Maren Bodenstein, who

will read excerpts from her debut novel Shooting Snakes, as well as Ashraf

Kagee, whose debut novel Khalil´s Journey has won the European union

Literary Award 2012. The event forms part of the new South African Voices

series, held bi-monthly at the library of the Goethe-Institut.

the bioscope FILM+SchooL Series is a film awareness and appreciation

initiative by the Bioscope Independent Cinema in partnership with the

Goethe-Institut South Africa. The central aims of the initiative are to

introduce young learners to the art of filmmaking, to spark interest in a

wide range of topics and to encourage discussion.

The new edition of the FILM+SChOOL programme will introduce young

learners to the world of making short films through a diverse programme

of South African, international and student films. Short films are an

important part of filmmaking, especially when considering that the very

first cinematic images produced in the late 19th century were newsreels

and travel films often only a few minutes in length.

The programme starts with the beginnings of cinema, presenting a selection

of early German and French short films and then progress to recent exam-

ples of contemporary short films. the selection will include the recent 2013

oscar nominated live action and animated short films as well award-winning

South African student films. the programme will also include the winners

of South Africa’s very first mobile phone film competition held by the 2013

Jozi Film Festival. these shorts, filmed exclusively on cell phones will re-

veal the exciting possibilities to students of creating their own short films.

As short films often serve as a key entry point for students into the film

industry, the FILM+SChOOL programme is designed to inspire students

and provide an understanding of cinema’s historical relationship with the

format as well as the exciting possibilities of the short film.

The Space Between Us is an exhibition project that considers the

resonances of African art and African artists’ presence in Germany,

particularly Berlin and Stuttgart.

The Space Between Us performs another iteration of the project series on

media and migration that took place in Frankfurt am Main in 2007 and

2009 (Migration & Media), in Bamako 2011 (Staying and Leaving, in collabo-

ration with the Maison Africaine de la Photographie, Bamako) and Johan-

nesburg in 2012 (Shoe Shop, in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut).

The Space Between Us includes artworks by Emmanuel Bakary Daou, Fa-

toumata Diabaté, Satch hoyt, Dorothee Kreutzfeldt, Serge Alain nitegeka,

Musa nxumalo, thabiso Sekgala, dierk Schmidt, films by brigitta Kuster,

Thenjiwe nkosi, nana Oforiatta-Ayim, and presentations by rangoato

hlasane, Malose Malahlela, Bongani Madondo, Cara Snyman and others.

The Space Between Us project starts with a lab in April 2013 and will

present an exhibition in public space in Berlin (September to December

2013) and Stuttgart (January to March 2014), a reading room focusing on

German literature on African matters and discourses, a one week music

festival and a film programme.

The project is realised in collaboration with the ifa-Galerie in Berlin

and Stuttgart.

ChImurenGa ChronICend of marCh 2013

the chimurenga chronic is a new quarterly gazette. the first edition, sup-

ported by the Goethe-Institut, will be launched at the end of March 2013.

The Chronic is a publication born out of an urgent need to write our world

differently, to begin asking new questions, or even the old ones anew.

These questions loom over a contemporary Africa. Yet most knowledge

produced on the continent remains heavily reliant on simplistic and rigid

categories unable to capture the complexities that inflect so much of

Fron

contemporary quotidian life here.

The Chronic is a small, deeply

subjective attempt to do things

differently. Ironically, they “started

with what we know, taking

inspiration from the flexibility,

readiness to take risks, and ability

to manoeuvre through different

temporal orders that defines life

here. […] We recognise the success

of this initiative is not how long it

lives but that it lives fully, that it

travels and inserts itself directly in

our lives, takes its place and speaks

to the place in which we live, love

and work.“

The Chimurenga Chronic favours writing, art and photography that is

open, plural, and inflected by the workings of power, innovation, creativity

and resistance.
