South African Jazz Cultures: indaba / discussion day

The South African Jazz Cultures indaba / discussion day is an interdisciplinary forum structured around five presentations and a round table. Contributions from academics (Eato, Pyper), filmmakers (Kaganof), heritage practitioners (Temple, Huntley), musicians (Abdul-Rahim, Brubeck, Moholo-Moholo), and Hazel Miller of Ogun Records will invite discussion on a range of issues broadly framed by the idea of South African jazz cultures. The day will bring together thinking on a range of topics including, but not limited to:

• Artistic heritage in post-authoritarian, post-censorship societies
• The artist in exile
• Vernacular intellectuals
• Informal / underground knowledge transfer structures
• Artistic modes of resistance
