"Women in Solitary: Inside the Female Resistance to Apartheid" ??
Wednesday, 11 August 2021
?Shanthini Naidoo speaks about her book Women in Solitary: Inside the Female Resistance to Apartheid (2020). She explains that the minimisation of women’s contribution in the fight against apartheid triggered her research. She highlights the everyday sacrifices and contributions made by ‘ordinary’ women and explores the bigger story of South Africa's unprocessed collective trauma through the stories of four women activists who were imprisoned under apartheid's laws. Nomfundo Mogapi contributed her profound insights on trauma and its transgenerational wounding in her response and Dr Azille Coetzee shared her expertise on feminism and women’s resistance in hers.

PUBLIC WEBINAR
VISUAL POLITICS Navigating Violent Histories
Wednesday, 19 August 2020
Images of black social protest are forever fixed in the popular imagination through photography. From the medium’s beginning, race and gender have shaped and controlled the production and reception of photographic representations of people, both politically and aesthetically. This conversation will explore the mobilisation of photographs in the ongoing struggle for human rights, and with reference to the American Civil Rights and Anti-Apartheid movements. We will think about visual activism, visual politics and the power of images to record and advocate at the same time as register violence, erasure and repression. The historical role of photographers in producing an archive chronicling social issues, racialised death and trauma as well as resistance and refusal provides a resource with which we can think, navigate and describe the past. How these relate to current struggles for recognition and redress are urgent issues that contemporary reworkings of the archive, and visual/oral testimony address.

Citizens’ Action against Corruption in Times of Coronavirus
Wednesday, 27 May 2020
This discussion will show the partnership between scholars and activist to fight the spread of the Coronavirus on the corruption front. Response to global health pandemics such as the Coronavirus present opportunities for corruption by those in positions of power who take advantage of the crisis to enrich themselves.
A striking example of this is the use of a guest house in a small village in the Eastern Cape owned by an MEC’s daughter as a quarantine facility without following proper 中国体育彩票 protocols. This panel discussion will show the power of citizens’ action to stop the plague of brazen corruption from spreading Coronavirus in their community.
