BLACK & WHITE NEUROSES : SOUTH AFRICA TODAY

 

Public Dialogue - 25th August 2012 at the Apartheid Museum

The public dialogue includes a brief introduction to Frantz Fanon and Steve Biko, as well as relating their ideas to South Africa today.

It further relates South African aspirations to the key Fanonian concept of 'Black neurosis' and Biko's proudly Black concept.

The talk references how this impacts our daily decisions regarding fashion, hair, cars etc and how it links to our racial, gender and class stereotypes. It extends to 'white neurosis'.

What are your thoughts on this ? Let's start talking now? Your comments will be welcomed!
