You are invited to attend a conversation on:
(M)Other Families: Representing Queer South African Families
with Jean Brundrit and Natasha Distiller
When: 15 October 1-2:30pm
Where: Seminar Room, HUMA, above the Centre for African Studies, Upper Campus, UCT.
Co-hosted by the Institute for the Humanities in Africa (HUMA) and the Department of Fine Art, UCT.
As part of the launch of HUMA, and under the auspices of the research theme “On Being Human”, this conversation addresses the representation of the lesbian parent family in post-apartheid South Africa. We will be discussing the family portrait photograph in the context of the issues surrounding the visibility or otherwise of lesbian parent families.
