Ways of Writing: Creative Knowledge Production in African Studies

To explore how curatorial and creative fields open new avenues for engaging with central discourses in African Studies.

The workshop is part of a collaborative project between colleagues at the University of Basel and the University of Cape Town in response to a forthcoming exhibition commemorating the tragic 2021 fire at the Jagger Library at the University of Cape Town, one of the most extensive collections of African studies material in the world.
