I had the profound honour of being invited to converse with the very keen mind of Mfundo Mpepuka on his podcast Read Between the Covers about some of what is preoccupying me at the moment.
In this conversation we reflect on African cinema, ancestral presence, elemental world-making and forms of knowledge that survive despite attempts to erase them.
So much gratitude to my magnificent supervisor Prof Lize Van Robbroeck who set me on this path with her life changing course on New Materialisms.
And my work wife Prof Stella Viljoen for gifting me carte blanche over many years to follow my creative impulses in the classroom, first at the University of Pretoria and now for many years at Stellenbosch University. This semester’s debut post-grad course on Afropresentism has been a particularly nourishing joy.
Our beautiful book, Burning Down the House, is available here.
Thanks to all my beloved students for their keen curiosity — it’s all for you.
