Humanities in Session: Artists Forum with Themba Tsotsi

Themba Tsotsi is a freelance writer, writing mainly about visual art. He graduated with a BA Honors Degree at the University of the Western Cape (South Africa) in 2006. In 2007 he was part of a visual artist collective, based in Cape Town called Gugulective, exploring performance art and writing about visual art. This entailed visual analyses, for cultural, social and historic aspects in contemporary art practice in South Africa and the world. The collective traveled to Germany, Spain, Holland between the years of 2006 and 2009. While the author’s participation in the collective ceased, his research into critical theory and its relation to postcolonial studies continued, inspired by the realization that the postcolonial perspective is as concrete as the strategies in Deconstructionism exhibit.
