Chancellors’ forum ‘Victim: no resurrection?’

by | Mar 4, 2014 | News | 1 comment

Victim: no resurrection? is a series of post-apartheid re-imaginings led by St Georges Cathedral in partnership with the Michaelis School of Fine Art, UCT and the District Six Museum.

This collaborative project  will be held over the period of Lent (05 March  – 19 April 2014.) It seeks to bring together a series of conversations and creative events in an endeavor to think about key questions in the 20th year of South Africa’s democracy.

Pivoting around a particular piece of art, by British artist, Terry Duffy, ‘Victim, no resurrection?’  the program will bring together interfaith clergy, men, women and children from across the city and from all sectors: the faith community, artists, activists, students, scholars and academics.

The series will be launched at St George’s Cathedral on the evening of Tuesday, March 4th 2014 at 17h45 with the inaugural Chancellors Conversation, chaired by Anglican Archbishop Makgoba who is also Chancellor of the University of the Western Cape.

The event is envisaged as an informal conversation between ten South African university heads around the theme of the program, Victim: no resurrection?  They will share their thoughts on the role of universities in social transformation.

Coupled with the installation of the art work, this conversation will kick-start the 6 week programme, which will take place every Tuesday evening, details of which will be shared at the launch.
