Fashion Cities Africa

Mode is hot in Afrika, maar dé Afrikaanse mode bestaat niet. In verschillende steden bestaan diverse bloeiende modescenes. Van streetwear tot couture en van experimenteel tot meer ingetogen: dragers, makers en kenners tonen er hun identiteit, persoonlijke smaak en achtergrond mee. Vaak gelinkt aan de stad waarin ze wonen. De stad die hen een spiegel voorhoudt. Fashion Cities Africa toont de diversiteit aan mode in Casablanca, Johannesburg, Lagos en Nairobi – door de ogen van 15 lokale experts. In Fashion Cities Africa bekijk je de stedelijke modescenes vanuit het perspectief van lokale ontwerpers, stylisten, shophouders, fotografen en bloggers. Zo nemen broer en zus 2ManySiblings je mee naar de markt in Nairobi, waar ze tweedehands designerkleding kopen om te restylen. Ook vind je in de tentoonstelling creaties van onder meer The Sartists (Johannesburg), Said Mahrouf (Casablanca) en het modelabel Maki Oh (Lagos), dat gedragen wordt door onder andere Beyoncé en Michelle Obama. Het Tropenmuseum selecteerde voor deze tentoonstelling Nederlandse experts die hun Afrikaanse roots verwerken in mode: Daily Paper, Karim Adduchi, Lady Africa, Doru Komonoteng Loboka en Nsimba Valene Lontanga. Voor Fashion Cities Africa delen zij hun inspiratie, werkwijze én ontwerpen met de museumbezoeker.

Mandela’s roots revisited - photographic exhibition by Bonile Bam

Bonile Bam’s photographic exhibition, Nelson Mandela’s roots revisited, hosted by the University of Johannesburg is different from other exhibitions, with its focus on the landscape where Mandela grew up, rather than Mandela himself. The imagery is at once hauntingly beautiful and evocative. Mandela himself hardly appears in the photographs that are exhibited. It is a unique exhibition in this focus on the physical landscape and pastoral setting in which Mandela grew up. Bam’s poetic images take us to the areas and invite us to imagine the young Mandela in the rural Eastern Cape in the early decades of the 20th Century. The photographs share rare moments and places through which Mandela lived. The exhibition is hosted by the University of Johannesburg Faculty of Humanities, in collaboration with the University Library and the National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences. The exhibition will then be simultaneously hosted there and at the three other UJ campuses: Soweto, Doornfontein and Bunting Road for two months.

Tata Madiba. Father of our democracy: Father of our Nation.

The upgraded Tata Madiba exhibition content and objects are meant to stimulate conversation about his life, struggles and extraordinary contribution to protection of South Africa’s rich biodiversity; but also connect to contemporary issues around conservation and sustainability.  The exhibition also includes the many species named after him and those he and his fellow prisoners may have encountered on Robben Island.  The exhibition includes as its central piece the iMadiba Project which is a participatory art project conceptualized and created by artist and photographer Erhardt Thiel. It is endorsed by the Nelson Mandela Foundation The intention of the installation or micro museum is to facilitate dialogue, memory, reflection and forward thinking. The combination of the Tata Madiba exhibition and the iMadiba Project art installation is therefore an apt marriage to celebrate the centenary of this great statesman Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

Het einde van de witte wereld: een avond rond dekolonisatie
Dinsdag 11 September 2018 20:00

Ze voeren actie tegen standbeelden van witte mannen die zwarte handjes lieten afhakken. Ze ergeren zich dood aan de knecht van de Sint. Ze maken zich kwaad over onze geschiedenisboeken. Ze laten hashtags als #DecoloniseTheMuseum! circuleren op twitter. ‘Ze’, dat zijn studenten, academici en actievoerders die deel uitmaken van een wereldwijd groeiende beweging voor dekolonisatie. Dekolonisatie? Anno vandaag? Jazeker. Want de tijd van Belgisch Kongo of Nederlands Indië is dan wel voorbij, de denkkaders die de kolonisering mogelijk, aanvaardbaar en onzichtbaar maakten, leven gewoon verder. Het onderzoek van onze centrale gast Dr. Olivia U. Rutazibwa richt zich op postkoloniale en dekoloniale benaderingen van de ethische dimensies in internationale betrekkingen, cf. democratisering, staatsopbouw, ontwikkeling en (humanitaire) interventies en gelijkaardige processen in het denken rond diversiteit, integratie en assimilatie in het Westen. Ook aanwezig: Bart Eeckhout (De Morgen), Guido Gryseel (directeur Afrikamuseum), Dalilla Hermans (moderator) en Raf Njotea (gastheer)

Lunch seminar: Towards a Theory of the Endogenous African Firm
Woensdag 12 September 2018 12:00 - 13:00

This seminar will discuss on-going work that is based on a variety of projects that lead to new insights in African firms. The current transitions in Africa generate business development towards unprecedented economic and technological specialization. In the process, new endogenous African firms start to emerge. These are firms that wear a unique African signature because they tap into the resources that make the African business environment typically different from business environments in other parts of the world, namely the diversity of natural resources and the social, economic and cultural systems that build on them. At the same time these businesses have access to knowledge on how to manage businesses in the formal sector of the economy, enabling them to create value from such resources that can stand in the global competitive marketplaces. The seminar will address the questions why Africa needs its own theory of the firm, how the endogenous firm is different from other firms in Africa and why we need a deeper understanding of such firms.

Fashion Cities Africa

Mode is hot in Afrika, maar dé Afrikaanse mode bestaat niet. In verschillende steden bestaan diverse bloeiende modescenes. Van streetwear tot couture en van experimenteel tot meer ingetogen: dragers, makers en kenners tonen er hun identiteit, persoonlijke smaak en achtergrond mee. Vaak gelinkt aan de stad waarin ze wonen. De stad die hen een spiegel voorhoudt. Fashion Cities Africa toont de diversiteit aan mode in Casablanca, Johannesburg, Lagos en Nairobi – door de ogen van 15 lokale experts. In Fashion Cities Africa bekijk je de stedelijke modescenes vanuit het perspectief van lokale ontwerpers, stylisten, shophouders, fotografen en bloggers. Zo nemen broer en zus 2ManySiblings je mee naar de markt in Nairobi, waar ze tweedehands designerkleding kopen om te restylen. Ook vind je in de tentoonstelling creaties van onder meer The Sartists (Johannesburg), Said Mahrouf (Casablanca) en het modelabel Maki Oh (Lagos), dat gedragen wordt door onder andere Beyoncé en Michelle Obama. Het Tropenmuseum selecteerde voor deze tentoonstelling Nederlandse experts die hun Afrikaanse roots verwerken in mode: Daily Paper, Karim Adduchi, Lady Africa, Doru Komonoteng Loboka en Nsimba Valene Lontanga. Voor Fashion Cities Africa delen zij hun inspiratie, werkwijze én ontwerpen met de museumbezoeker.

I Am Not a Witch

Regie: Rungano Nyoni, Verenigd Koninkrijk/Zambia, 93 min. Na een incident in haar dorp wordt de 9-jarige Zambiaanse Shula beschuldigd van hekserij. Tijdens de korte rechtszaak wordt ze schuldig bevonden en verbannen naar een heksenkolonie. Haar nieuwe leven bestaat uit werken op het land met de andere heksen en als een attractie te worden bekeken door toeristen. Shula's lot lijkt te verbeteren als meneer Banda zich over haar ontfermt om 'samen zaken te doen' en de publiciteit met haar opzoekt. Terwijl haar leven besloten lijkt, staat het jonge meisje voor de keuze: haar lot als heks accepteren of het risico nemen en voor vrijheid kiezen.

Mandela’s roots revisited - photographic exhibition by Bonile Bam

Bonile Bam’s photographic exhibition, Nelson Mandela’s roots revisited, hosted by the University of Johannesburg is different from other exhibitions, with its focus on the landscape where Mandela grew up, rather than Mandela himself. The imagery is at once hauntingly beautiful and evocative. Mandela himself hardly appears in the photographs that are exhibited. It is a unique exhibition in this focus on the physical landscape and pastoral setting in which Mandela grew up. Bam’s poetic images take us to the areas and invite us to imagine the young Mandela in the rural Eastern Cape in the early decades of the 20th Century. The photographs share rare moments and places through which Mandela lived. The exhibition is hosted by the University of Johannesburg Faculty of Humanities, in collaboration with the University Library and the National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences. The exhibition will then be simultaneously hosted there and at the three other UJ campuses: Soweto, Doornfontein and Bunting Road for two months.

Tata Madiba. Father of our democracy: Father of our Nation.

The upgraded Tata Madiba exhibition content and objects are meant to stimulate conversation about his life, struggles and extraordinary contribution to protection of South Africa’s rich biodiversity; but also connect to contemporary issues around conservation and sustainability.  The exhibition also includes the many species named after him and those he and his fellow prisoners may have encountered on Robben Island.  The exhibition includes as its central piece the iMadiba Project which is a participatory art project conceptualized and created by artist and photographer Erhardt Thiel. It is endorsed by the Nelson Mandela Foundation The intention of the installation or micro museum is to facilitate dialogue, memory, reflection and forward thinking. The combination of the Tata Madiba exhibition and the iMadiba Project art installation is therefore an apt marriage to celebrate the centenary of this great statesman Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

t/m Vrijdag 14 September 2018

Nederlands Theater Festival: “Wat kun jij doen om een vluchteling zijn waardigheid terug te geven?” Die vraag stelt theatermaker Bright Richards aan het publiek in The Bright Side of Life. Bright Richards was een beroemd acteur in Liberia, maar moest 20 jaar geleden vluchten vanwege de burgeroorlog. Theater hielp hem een nieuw bestaan op te bouwen in Nederland. Hierover maakt hij samen met schrijver / regisseur Ko van den Bosch en componist / muzikant Oleg Fateev de komische en confronterende vertelling met livemuziek: The Bright Side of Life. The Bright Side of Life vertelt over een acteur die zijn thuisland, waar hij beroemd en geliefd was, moet ontvluchten. Eenmaal in Nederland gaat hij inburgeren en op zoek naar nieuw publiek. De voorstelling gaat over hoe je als persoon omgaat met het achterlaten van je oude wereld en het integreren in een nieuwe. Uiteindelijk blijkt dat niet daar waar je vandaan komt, maar daar waar het goed met je gaat, je thuis is.

Promotie: Kenmerken van artritis psoriatica in Zuid-Afrika
Vrijdag 14 September 2018 12:00

In Afrika zijn effectieve behandelingen tegen Artritis psoriatica, een combinatie van ontstekingsreuma en de huidziekte psoriasis, moeilijk toegankelijk. De Afrikaanse bevolking lijkt (bijna) niet getroffen te worden door de aandoening, waardoor er betrekkelijk weinig aandacht is voor deze ziekte. Met het oog op verbetering van de beschikbare therapieën in Zuid-Afrika onderzoekt Ajesh Maharaj waarom deze ziekte de oorspronkelijke Afrikaanse inwoners niet treft, behalve als zij hiv-besmet raken. Wordt deze populatie beschermd door hun genen? Of ontstaat de ziekte door een epigenetisch effect als gevolg van hiv-infectie? Dhr. A.B. Maharaj: Characterization of Psoriatic Arthritis in South Africa: Studies on a Single Centre Cohort. Promotor is prof. dr. P.P. Tak. Copromotor is dr. N. de Vries.
