Seven public lectures explored South Africa’s state of in-betweenness, of things unfinished, things unwritten – an exploration of mutability as opposed to certainty from academic, historical, poetic, musical, artistic and literary points of view.
The lecture series, then, was also an investigation of becoming, and how we might become differently.
Speakers reflect on the process of bringing to the page (and imagination) that which is unsaid or unwritten; the possibilities for liberating men from oppressive models of masculinity; writing fiction that troubles linguistic conventions, realism and the arc of traditional narrative trajectories; notions of freedom, home, placelessness, and belonging amongst other provocative responses to the theme.
