Title: "Gender, Liberation and Futures in South Africa: Women's Art
Practice as Alternative Political Arena"
When the Monument to the Women of South Africa was unveiled in Pretoria in
August 2000, much was riding on the ability of the monument to invoke the
presence and necessity of women for the country's past and for securing
its success in the future. The Monument was designed to recall not only
the crucial role played in the liberation struggle by women from all
constituencies (and across class and colour lines) but also the ways in
which such a past can work to enable a new vision of the future.
This lecture argues that while the conventional political terrain in South
Africa appears to be stalling on delivering the fruits of a democratic
process, a new space for effective political activism on the ground has
been opened up by women makers and artists. The lecture explores some of
the extraordinary projects which have effectively taken the initiative to
transform complex social environments still blighted by the devastating
legacy of the apartheid years and the economic and health challenges
presented by years of official denialism in the face of the AIDS/HIV
pandemic. It argues that gender is a critical component in these art
projects' success.
The talk will be given in English, but simultaneous translation in French
will be offered.
Everyone welcome

Bonjour!
Pamela Walker, la titulaire de la Chaire conjointe en études des femmes à
l'Université d'Ottawa et Carleton University, a le plaisir de vous inviter
à une
Présentation par
Annie E. Coombes, professeure, Material and Visual Culture, School of
History of Art, Film and Visual Media, Birkbeck, University of London
Quand: Jeudi, 28 mars 2013, de 11 h30 à 13 h00
Où: River Conference Room, Édifice River Building, Carleton University,
1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa
Titre: Genre, libération et futurs en Afrique du Sud: l'utilisation de
l'Art par les femmes en tant qu'arène politique alternative
(Gender, Liberation and Futures in South Africa: Women's Art
Practice as Alternative Political Arena)
Lorsque le Monument des femmes d'Afrique du Sud fut dévoilé à Pretoria, en
août 2000, on a fondé beaucoup d'espoir sur la capacité de ce monument à
invoquer la présence et l'importance de ces femmes qui ont fait partie du
passé de ce pays pour en assurer son succès dans l'avenir. Ce Monument a
été conçu pour rappeler non seulement le rôle essentiel joué par les
femmes de toutes les sphères, traversant les frontières de couleur et de
race, mais aussi les divers moyens grâce auxquels un tel passé peut
contribuer à une nouvelle vision de l'avenir.
Cette présentation maintiendra que, bien que le terrain politique
conventionnel de l'Afrique du Sud semble tarder à livrer les fruits d'un
processus démocratique, un nouvel espace pour un militantisme politique
efficace sur le terrain a été lancé par des femmes créatrices et artistes.
Cette présentation touchera quelques un des projets extraordinaires ayant
eu pour but de transformer des environnements sociaux complexes encore
assombris par l'héritage dévastateur des années d'Apartheid et d'enjeux
importants relativement à l'économie et à la santé, conséquence de
nombreuses années de dénégation officielle quant à la pandémie de
VIH/SIDA. On y confirmera que le genre est une composante critique dans le
succès de ces projets artistiques.
La présentation sera donnée en anglais, avec traduction simultanée en
français.
