LOCATION:Braamfontein Campus East Humanities Graduate Centre
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Graduate Centre will host a colloquium aimed at key scholars in the arts that have responded in various ways to the recent students' movements.This colloquium will particularly focus on the RhodesMustFall and Shackville movements.
<br />Speakers will make presentations on the topic: The Art of Politics and the Politics of Art.
<br />The colloquium will take the recent student protests as an occasion to probe questions around the visual representation of current struggles, where the act of re-imagining a new scholarly discourse around debates such as de-colonising institutions of learning is not only prompted by a conversation centred on socio-political rhetoric but also by an artistic account that acknowledges the multi-layered ways of exploring history, processes of transformation and present day intersections between art and politics.
<br />It examines the state of the current visual art landscape, which, although somewhat estranged from the political landscape, in many ways offers a much wider scope for exploring issues of representation, inclusivity and redress in more meaningful ways.
