Gedurende die fees in Artscape-foyers
Tydens die Suidoosterfees se 21ste verjaarsdag deel 21 kunstenaars hulle “rykdom en skoonhede” (Uys Krige) met ons. As inspirasie word stip gekyk na Jan Rabie se kortverhaalbundel 21, wat in 1956 die Afrikaanse literêre landskap onherroeplik verander het. In Jan Rabie se woorde word feesgangers uitgenooi om hierdie uitstalling van hul gevoelens te laat besitneem “soos ’n huwelik vol vreemde, gefluisterde betekenis.”

To celebrate Suidoosterfees’ 21st birthday, 21 artists share their creative abundance and beauty with us. Jan Rabie’s short story collection 21, which changed the Afrikaans literary landscape dramatically in 1956, serves as inspiration. Festivalgoers are invited, in Rabie’s words, to allow this exhibition to fill them with “strange, whispered meanings”.
ONAFHANKLIKHEID: UITSTALLING
Visuele kunstenaars: Zainab Davids, Willie Bester, Kobus la Grange en Liam van der Heever
Kurator: Carin Bester
Gedurende die fees in die Artscape-foyers
’n Multimedia-uitstalling wat visuele en vertoonkuns kombineer. Die kunstenaars gee uitdrukking aan hul siening en ondervinding van die begrip onafhanklikheid. Wat is onafhanklikheid? Vryheid van beheer, invloed, ondersteuning of hulp van ander? Onafhanklikheid is ’n mensereg. Tog is die vraag: is ons werklik onafhanklik en geniet ons volwaardige menseregte in Suid-Afrika en in die wêreld?
INDEPENDENCE: EXHIBITION
Visual artists: Zainab Davids, Willie Bester, Kobus la Grange and Liam van der Heever
Curator: Carin Bester
During festival in the Artscape foyer
A multi-media exhibition combining visual and performance art. The artists express their views and experiences of the concept of independence. What is independence? Freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like of others? Independence is a human right. The question however is, do we have true independence and human rights in South Africa and around the world?

In hierdie vertoonkuns-aanbieding verteenwoordig die tragiese hanswors die skimme van mense wat deur die stelsel onsigbaar gelaat is. Dié onsigbaarheid word nou ’n mantel waarmee die hanswors dwaal, op soek na bevryde ruimtes binne ’n landskap waar die staat jou oral dophou – daar waar dit dalk moontlik is om mekaar raak te sien. Deur poëtiese gebare van solidariteit probeer die bekroonde kunstenaar en aktivis Qondiswa James ’n manier vind waarop ons met mekaar kan praat, oor ons.

In this performance art piece, the tragic clown, the ghost representing those who are made invisible by the system, reappropriates this invisibility as a cloak for haunting. Searching for liberated zones inside the matrix of state surveillance where it may be possible to ‘see each other’. With poetic gestures of solidarity, award-winning artists and activist Qondiswa James tries to find a way for us to speak to each other about us.

Belemmer deur die oogklappe wat hy gedwing word om te dra.
Eddie Newman se ondervindinge as ruiter in die perdebedryf het dié vertoonkuns-aanbieding geïnspireer om die magswanbalans tussen werkgewer en werknemer te verken. Die krag van fisieke uitdrukking word ingespan om te besin oor onderdrukking, klasongelykheid en die individu se stryd om deur ingeperkte horisonne te breek. Newman vier diversiteit en kultuur terwyl weerstand in sy aanbieding opklink.

Hampered by the blinkers he is forced to wear.

Harnessing the power of physical expression, he reflects on oppression, class inequality and the individual’s struggle to break through restricted horizons.

Gedurende die fees in Artscape-foyers
Die fotograaf Paul Alberts wat in 2010 oorlede is, het hom in die sewentiger- en tagtigerjare daaraan toegewy om die groot geeste van Suid-Afrikaanse kuns in hul skeppende oomblikke te dokumenteer. Hierdie tentoonstelling, ’n tydige herbesoek aan sy kuns, gee ’n dinamiese oorsig van die kultuurbedryf destyds. Talle foto’s het in sy 1979-boek In Kamera verskyn. Kom waardeer die klassieke self-opdrag van ’n groot fotograaf wat ’n unieke klomp kunstenaars voor sy lens vasgevang het.

TEKWANA
Aangebied deur die Suidoosterfees en BASA; oorspronklik uitgevoer tydens die Brixton Light Festival met die ondersteuning van die Helen Suzman Stigting en BASA
Met: David Gara en studente van Dance for All
Saans op die Piazza
Tekwana is ’n openbare optreekuns-uitvoering, gebaseer op die lewensverhaal van David Gara, ’n Zimbabwiese immigrant wat in Johannesburg woon. David skep pragtige skepe met asemrowende detail uit herwinbare materiaal, en verkoop dit om ’n bestaan te maak en om sy gedagtes en drome oor die wêreld te deel. Die konsep het ontstaan ná ’n toevallige ontmoeting tussen die kunstenaar, die Well Worn Theatre Company en Shade se “Waste Not Want Not”-inwonende-kunstenaar-program. Vir die Suidoosterfees werk David saam met Dance for All-studente om sy lieflike skepe aan inwoners van die Moederstad bekend te stel.
