In July 1990 National Union of Metalworkers South Africa (Numsa) pre-

sented Nelson Mandela with a red Mercedes-Benz 500 SE. The car was a

present that had been built by the workers at the Mercedes Benz factory

in East London. The workers had donated their time, while management

had agreed to supply them with the parts. The car summed up many of

the aspirations and tensions of an important transitional moment in

South Africa.

Despite the success of the car, the tensions between management and

workers escalated and resulted in a wildcat sleep-in strike that closed

production at the factory. The strikers used upholstery materials to create

beds and uniforms, which were used during the sleep-in.

Red examines the larger political and social story of the car and the strike

that followed. The exhibition is made up of installation elements by Simon

Gush and Mokotjo Mohulo, as well as a new documentary. It was made

in collaboration with James Cairns, and follows story lines of individuals

who were directly involved. A special screening of the documentary will

be presented at the auditorium of the Goethe-Institut on 17 May at 11.00.

Simon Gush has exhibited widely in South Africa and abroad, and with

this exhibition continues his interest in the thematic of work.

Photographer Reiner Leist emigrated from West Germany to South Africa

in 1988, where he stayed until he took up residence in the United States

in 1994. During his time in South Africa – which constituted a significant

period of transition to democracy – he started taking portraits of ordinary

and extraordinary South Africans. Fifteen years later Leist returned

in search of these individuals to take a second set of images for the

photographic essay Another Country.

According to the artist: “Since the late eighties, more than 200 South

Africans have shared their perspectives on the country and their personal

histories with me. These narratives have had a large impact on my view

of the world, and influenced me in my professional capacity. Starting in

1988, the participants were invited to collaborate with me in the publica-

tion South Africa: Blue Portraits, which was published in 1993, just before

the nation’s first democratic elections. Each person was asked to choose

a background for a portrait in black and white; 73 of these were included

in the final publication. In 2009 I began to revisit the participants in order

to find out how their living circumstances had changed since our last

discussion, through the lens of the original photographs. The new narra-

tives form the content and the inspiration for Another Country, the follow

up publication. In Another Country, black-and-white portraits are followed

by new colour portraits of the participants or, in some cases, of surviving

sons or daughters, a grandson, a new bearer of an office or position, or a

visitor to the same site. The images are accompanied by edited versions of

new interviews. In the editing process, I tried to preserve a sense of the

words as spoken, and to offer the reader an experience as listener, in a

bound collection of the visual and verbal stories of many of my teachers.

I remain a student of their humanity and of the South African landscape.”

The book Another Country is published by Jacana and accompanies the

exhibition at the Johannesburg Art Gallery.

Admission: free.

African Metropolis is a compilation of six short fiction films, set in six

major African cities, a unique partnership towards new African cinema.

The films from Abidjan, Cairo, Dakar, Johannesburg, Lagos and Nairobi tell

urban tales about life in African metropolises.

After the world premiere at last year’s Durban International Film Festival

and festival screenings in Africa, North America and Europe, African

Metropolis is being shown to a South African audience for the first time.

The South African contribution to the short film project, directed by

Vincent Moloi, tells the story of an ageing white man dealing with the

demographical changes happening in Berea, Johannesburg.

The African Metropolis Short Film Project is an initiative of the Goethe-

Institut South Africa and executive producer Steven Markovitz, with

support from Guaranty Trust Bank and the Hubert Bals Fund of

International Film Festival Rotterdam. More information on www.goethe.

The revived European Film Festival (EUFF 2014) presents ten internation-

ally acclaimed films from ten of the most exciting European directors of the

moment. All ten films will be screened for the first time in South Africa, and

deal in different ways with the theme of the Festival – Beyond Love. The

EUFF will be shown exclusively at Cinema Nouveau theatres and will run

concurrently in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria.

The film programme includes: Paradise: Love (Austria), The Broken Circle

Breakdown (Belgium), The Hunt (Denmark), Stranger by the Lake (France),

The Great Beauty (Italy), Tabu (Portugal), Child’s Pose (Romania), Living is

Easy with Eyes Closed (Spain) and Le Week-End (United Kingdom).

The German film on the programme is Barbara. Christian Petzold’s film,

awarded the Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin International Film

Festival 2012, is a quiet, unexcited film with great attention to detail, offer-

ing a very exact picture of life in the GDR in the years before the fall of the

Berlin wall.

The European Film Festival is co-ordinated by the French Institute of South

Africa and organised in partnership with the European Union, the British

Council, the Camões Institute, the Italian Cultural Institute, the Flemish

The Impermanence Museum is a multi-media performance residency that

explores processes of renewal and decay, of making and unmaking. The

notion of impermanence is intrinsic to the performing arts and relates

to the context of Johannesburg – a place of consistent change as new

developments arise and the old slowly disappears, a duality of regeneration

and nostalgia for places and things that have ceased to exist.

The public is invited to visit the

museum, an installation that will

continuously change over the

duration of the residency, and to

witness a series of short performances

with music, sand, light and objects.

Museum opening hours:

In her dance performance, Cologne-based choreographer Silke Z. explores

the idea of the private sphere. A male and a female dancer create an emo-

tional landscape shaped by the dynamic interplay between closeness and

distance, control and powerlessness. Private spheres emerge from which

the audience cannot escape. The traditional stage is replaced by a space in

which everyone shares in a common experience.

Silke Z./resistdance is a dance company based in Cologne, producing in

Germany as well as abroad. Under the artistic direction of Silke Z., the team

works on contemporary dance performances and develops cross-over

concepts with artists of different fields. The company works as an open

system. Its main focus is on researching dance development, meeting the

audience and developing new stage structures. For more information and

For Africa Junctions, Lard Buurman (1969, Netherlands) photographed 14

cities in 12 countries in Africa over a period of six years. The subsequent

multi-layered photos not only challenge expectations of these urban

hubs, but also the assumed veracity of “documentary photography”.

Buurman constructs his photographic images from dozens of different

photographs taken from the same viewpoint, which, according to the

artist, “allows the viewer to feel the dynamics of city life in still images”.

A selection of the images from this body of work will be on show at the

Goethe-Institut gallery, and will be accompanied by the catalogue, Africa

Junctions. Capturing the City, edited by Nina Folkersma and designed by

Roosje Klap. The book is published by Hatje Cantz Verlag and contains

over 80 of Lard Buurman’s photographs and essays by Chris Abani,

N’Goné Fall, Chris Keulemans and Alexander Opper.

Afflecktion – A play about re-making yourself and loving the familiar

face of a celebrity (even one of the minor ones). Award winners Daniel

Buckland, Briony Horwitz and Nkosinathi Joachim Gaar come together to

deliver a fantastical black comedy that is at once haunting and majestic.

Afflecktion is a mixed media production featuring puppetry and mask

work. It conjures a world of side-show freaks, travelling carnivals and

1950s showmanship. Simultaneously, the show invokes mainstream

American romantic comedies and thrillers.

Through the close proximity of these mediums, the characters relate

to distant celebrities as pseudo-familiars and spurn intimate realities

as abhorrent. Each of them somehow seeks to become bigger than

the commonplace they are surrounded by. The resulting world is a

kaleidoscope where the grotesque is made heroic, where ruthlessness

is mandatory for true achievement, and where the value of exactly

the right kind of face is well established and unshakeable. Right on the

cutting edge…

24/06/2014, 19h00GOETHE-INSTITUT, LIbRARY

In 2012, the Goethe-Institut launched New South African Voices, a series of

literary talks and readings, presenting established South African authors

together with new literary voices. The idea is to discover new topics and

compare different literary approaches. New South African Voices takes

place bimonthly at the library of the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg.

The June event, titled 20 Years of Democracy in South Africa – How do

writers respond will bring together two renowned and much talked about

authors, Fred Khumalo and Imraan Coovadia. Fred Khumalo, formerly

editor of the Sunday Times Review, is a renowned columnist and author of

The Lighter Side of Robben Island, Bitches Brew and Seven Steps To Heaven,

among other books.

He has worked in various capacities for newspapers in South Africa and

overseas. Between 2011 and 2012 he was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard

University.

Imraan Coovadia is currently based in Cape Town where he lectures in

the English Department at the University of Cape Town. He is the author

of two recent novels, The Institute for Taxi Poetry (2012) and a collection

of essays, Transformations (2012). In 2010, his novel High Low In-between

won the Sunday Times Fiction Prize and the University of Johannesburg

Prize for Creative Writing in English.

New South African Voices is curated and presented by Morakabe Raks

Seakhoa and Indra Wussow.

Archives of the Non-Racial is the theme of the 2014 session of the

Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism (JWTC). The goal of the

2014 JWTC is to offer a space to rethink the politics of racialisation and

the terms under which the struggle for racial justice unfolds in the world

today. What are the contemporary reconfigurations and mutations of

race and racism? What forms does the struggle for racial justice take in

a contemporary world, a time that often claims to have gone beyond the

racial? Under what conditions, and how, do we transform and invigorate

anti-racist thought and praxis? The 2014 JWTC session will take place

from June 29 to July 11 and will travel to four different South African

cities as well as to Mbabane, Swaziland. This ‘mobile workshop’ will host

conversations in places with important contributions to the archive of the

struggle for racial justice. The conversations will put these local histories

in dialogue with similar struggles in other parts of the world, in particular

with India, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe. Organized in

partnership with the University of California Humanities Research Institute

and its Seminar on Experimental Critical Theory (SECT), the events of the

2014 JWTC Session are open to the public. For further information please

In this epic, Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) explores theological, philosophical
