The Way to Greatmore: Inviting Artists and Scholars to Reimagine the Future of the Humanities Beyond the Divided City.In 2016 the National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Department of Science and Innovation accepted a proposal from the CHR to advance an inquiry into the arts and the humanities. By all accounts the proposal reflected increasing pressures to undo the racial geographies of apartheid by bringing the arts and humanities into a more proximate relationship with each other. For the University of the Western Cape, the project was a bold statement. From a university that had been refused the disciplines of the arts and was committed to imagining a postapartheid future, a proposition was made for the indispensability of the arts to deracialise society and create new understandings of the problems of race.Through experiments in Athlone and Chapel Street, Woodstock, and following vibrant partnerships forged between urban and rural divides, the NRF awarded the CHR a national flagship status to pursue the university’s priority projects in the humanities. A core commitment of the flagship was to secure a facility to pursue its objectives. With an infrastructural investment supported by government, the university has begun the refurbishment of a derelict former school building in Greatmore Street, Woodstock.Please visit our website for more details: buff.ly/3udih0g ...
