Reconciliation through the Arts
In celebration of a decade of democracy and the ten year commemoration of
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as well as 150 years of existence of
the city of Tshwane (Pretoria), the University of Pretoria will host an Arts
and Reconciliation Festival and Conference. The aim of this event is to
redefine and emphasize the role that music, drama, films and the visual arts
play in South Africa, as well as in many other countries, to bring down the
walls of racial, political, socio-economic and cultural divisions and to
help build bridges towards healing and reconciliation.
Nobel prize laureates, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and former President
FW de Klerk will act as patrons of this initiative. Archbishop Tutu will
present a key-note lecture and FW de Klerk will deliver the closing address.
The programme consists of a number of activities: academic tracks, practical
workshops and master classes, lunch-hour entertainment, evening concerts, a
drama and film festival, as well as numerous exhibitions. Stories and
experiences from all over the world are brought together in the programme -
from South Africa and other African countries, the USA, England, Scotland,
Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine, Iran and Iraq and the Holocaust in
Nazi Germany. Themes that will be explored are conflict, guilt, justice,
forgiveness, healing and reconciliation. The role that the arts play in the
prevention of and the fight against HIV/Aids will also be underlined'
In the lunch-hour concerts as well as in the evenings there will be music
and drama performances, film shows and poetry readings. At the opening
ceremony on the evening of Monday 14 March, Michael Moerane's famous My
Country will be performed as well as works from Beethoven and Saint-Saëns.
During the rest of the week the evening programme will include the
following:
* Contemporary South African Films - Amandla, Red Dust and Forgiveness
* Piano and Chamber Music by Jewish Composers who escaped from Nazi Germany
* An open air performance "'n Afrikaner Waarheids- en Versoeningskommissie"
* A contemporary South African rendition of Händel's Messiah (Die
Messias -Die Jirre se seun")
* A Fusion of African and Classical Music
* A Jazz and local Festival
* Photographic exhibition, "Fatherhood" (UNICEF)
* Prominent South African artists will exhibit artworks in which the theme
of reconciliation is explored.

"juweeltjies" nou hul woorde sal moet verander;))
