The CHR Winter School 2025 Report, crafted by Lee Walters, is now available:www.chrflagship.uwc.ac.za/winter-school-7-11-july-2025-on-the-question-of-freedom/In anticipation of the arrival of Fanon, Lorde, McGregor and several other truth-seekers, the Iyatsiba Lab, alive to its meaning “to jump”, called attention to the CHR’s 15th iteration of the annual Winter School titled Freedom, Techne/Technics, Postcoloniality. Accompanied by trusted companions, the Reading List, the Place/People, Concept and Programme, Winter School held interdisciplinary space for what it means to think and make in relation(s) at the edge of time. This undertaking unapologetically cultivated thought practice(s) open to provocation and responsive to learning how to learn. In its commitment to understand the implications and consequences of theory, public discourse, art and the role of the university today, Winter School across the Iyatsiba Lab, the Slave Lodge, Zeitz Mocaa Museum of African Contemporary Art and UWC’s Main Campus did not disappoint.For more info link on bio: ...

Check out our latest interview with Lindelwa Dalamba who joined the Centre for Humanities Research (CHR) as a Senior Researcher in 2025, from the University of the Witwatersrand, where she worked and lectured in the Department of Music for a number of years. It is the first in a series of conversations which seek to place questions pertinent to the work of the CHR in conversation with broader publics online. Rather than providing a conclusive biographical account, this conversation draws on Lindelwa’s history as a musician, student, teacher and scholar, traversing the local and the global, the rural and the urban, exile and return, as well as questions of inter/disciplinarity, aesthetics and politics, music, history, literature and sound. In particular it draws from Lindelwa’s ‘three strands of interest’ – Music, Literature and History – so as to come at disciplines from a different angle, one that questions and troubles the prevailing logic of the worlds, institutions, and disciplines that we produce, inhabit and navigate. www.chrflagship.uwc.ac.za/troubling-the-divide-jazz-history-and-the-new-african-an-interview-with... ...

Please join us for the opening of Tales of History Retold. For this exhibition, eight artists were invited to select artefacts from the document archive of the Association for Visual Arts (AVA), a not-for-profit gallery and collective in Cape Town, as source material for an artistic response. The AVA Archive spans roughly 25 years to either side of the political watershed of 1994 so its temporal arc offers a compelling backstage testament to the entanglement of art, politics and everyday life. In its multiple voices and media, from poetry to installation and video, Tales of History Retold troubles the idea of archive as a singular authority and offers instead a more tentative and playful renegotiation of meaning over time.Date: Wednesday 5 November 2025Time: 17h30 for 18h00Venue:The Iyatsiba Lab,66 Greatmore Street, Woodstock(enter via Regents St)Opening speakers: Olga Speakes (AVA) & Premesh Lalu (UWC)This exhibition project is organised under the auspices of the British Academy/NRF, UK-SA Bilateral Chair in the Digital Humanities at the Centre for Humanities Research, as part of its inaugural international workshop in Culture & Technics (10-12 November). With thanks to the AVA, for collaborating on archival materials, and to HogHouse Breweries, our opening night sponsors.The exhibition run continues until Friday 28 November, Monday-Friday 09h00-16h00 and Saturdays 10h00-13h00. A guided curatorial walkabout by Kim Gurney & Carlyn Strydom will be held on Saturday 15th November at 11h00 – all welcome.For more info Link on Bio: ... See MoreSee Less
