Please join us for the next Archive Lab, organised under the auspices of the New Archival Visions (NAV) Programme at UWC. On 16 July, NAV will host Brian Tilley and Makonenyana Molete, founding members of the VNS/Afravision video collective to share how they set up VNS/Afravision in the 1980s to document the struggles sweeping across South Africa.Date: Thursday 16 July 2026Time: 13:00pm – 15:00pmVenue:Iyatsiba Lab,66 Greatmore Street, WoodstockRSVP: centreforhumanitiesresearch@uwc.ac.za www.chrflagship.uwc.ac.za/archive-lab-archiving-resistance-the-vns-afravision-collective-with-bri... Synopsis:With close links to the liberation organisations, unions and mass democratic movement the collective had unprecedented access and produced the most in-depth video archive of that period. At that time, images of what was happening in the townships and industrial areas were not broadcast in South Africa. Afravision would document what was happening and cut ‘video pamphlets’ or short films which were then distributed through the unions and youth structures in South Africa and to the liberation structures outside the country. The master tapes of these video pamphlets and films are busy being digitized and they form an important window on our past. The story of VNS/AFRAVISION Collective and its archive is presented as part of NAV’s ongoing Archive Lab series which gathers scholars, students, artists and archivists to think together with pre-selected materials about archival practice, research methods and the activation of research collections. ...

What does freedom mean in the wake of slavery?The Centre for Humanities Research, in collaboration with the Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery & Justice at Brown University, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, and Iziko Museums of South Africa, convened In Slavery’s Wake: Making Black Freedom in the World.Bringing together scholars, curators, artists, and researchers, the workshop explored the enduring legacies of slavery in the Cape and the ways Black freedom has been imagined, created, and defended despite histories of control. Through presentations and dialogue, participants engaged questions of identity, labour, race, memory, and the ongoing work of reshaping our understanding of the past and its impact on the present.This gathering reflects the CHR’s continued commitment to producing critical scholarship, fostering meaningful collaborations, and creating spaces where new conversations can shape the future of humanities research.Watch the highlights and join the conversation.#CentreForHumanitiesResearch #HumanitiesResearch #SlaverysWake #BlackFreedom #BrownUniversity ...
