Please join us on Thursday 15 October at Iyatsiba Lab, for the next Humanities in Session Seminar, 'Facing the Heat in South Africa', with Vishwas Satgar, who will be in conversation with Lee Walters. Date: Thursday 15 October 2026Times: 13:00pm-15:00pm Venue: Iyatsiba Lab, Woodstock, Cape Town. Synopsis: Southern Africa is heating at twice the global average. With the failure of the UN multi-lateral process to rapidly phase out fossil fuels, the world has lost the opportunity to prevent a 1.5°C overshoot. South Africa and the region has to brace for 3°C. The country is completely unprepared for this post-normal reality. Through photography, this book documents ten years of unfolding climate shocks, injustice and resistance post a 1°C overshoot at a global level. It gives powerful insights into the complexity of climate extremes and how the meaning of weather has changed.As a photographic archive it also provides forensic evidence for how an uncaring and criminalised political leadership, addicted to fossil fuels, is force marching the country into climate disaster. South Africa has used coal for more than a hundred years, has a carbon-intensive economy and is addicted to fossil fuel. It does not have a future if it continues down this path. This book echoes the warnings of climate science but also amplifies the case for climate justice solutions to secure a livable, just and democratic future for all.For more information and RSVP details: ...
