Unfinished Business: A conversation with Ashraf Jamal

Feb 9, 2018

Organised by Sven Christian, Adriane Iann Assistant Curator of Books and Works on Paper, Zeitz MOCAA.

Are we too quick to categorise and classify? Is it possible that our desire to make sense of the world does just the opposite? Where does art sit, in relation to all of this?

This conversation between cultural analyst and author, Ashraf Jamal, and Sven Christian, Adriane Iann Assistant Curator of Books and Works on Paper at Zeitz MOCAA, aims to tease out many of the preconceptions surrounding artistic practice in South Africa by revisiting the work of a number of artists who’ve held a very particular position within the South African vocabulary.

This event is free.
