at
IZIKO MUSEUMS OF CAPE TOWN
7–30 July 2007
LECTURE ONE
“An Examination of Doul’ Arts Culture and Urban Transformation Processes” – Presented by Zayd Minty
Date: Tuesday, 10th July 2007 Time: 17h30 for 18h00
Venue: Whale Well, Iziko SA Museum Entrance- Free
This paper is an examination of Doual’art’s culture and urban transformation practises, using the neighbourhood of Bessengue Akwa as a case study. Doual’art is a non-profit cultural initiative involved in a range of urban interventions in the Central African city of Doualla, drawing on culture to engage the city and its citizens in an act of re-imagination. A pilot community development project in Bessengue in conjunction with a French NGO and the city council of Doualla 1 resulted in two creatively enhanced pieces of basic infrastructure: a water pump and foot-bridge, as well as a series of art interventions taking place on a patch of ground in the extreme north end of the neighbour-hood. Analysing these three projects provides material to understand the organisation’s methodology conceptually as an act of insurgent urban practise that stimulates the residents to reconsider their agency as citizens and provides the impetus for thinking about the connection between imaginaries and transformation in an urban context.

its been a learning curve of note,
The ''new'' is always exciting, we as the collective do this for the love photography , exploration and
the cheek of making it happen against all odds..
we juggle( encrouching crime,making the rent,feeding the brain and the soul) , we pick up and back up who ever or where ever its needed, this is not a solo marathon
Every interaction has become a lesson in life , in the way we see each other, in the way we interact with the world around us,
come and enjoy or be shocked by the ordinary seen extraordinarily.
peace + love + respect

Rijksakademie Call
The Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam is a working and meeting place for young professional artists from all over the world. Fifty studios are available for resident artists who can work for one or two years on research, projects and production. A work period at the Rijksakademie is most valuable with three to five years of professional experience, following an art study programme.
Focus on the work, reflection and discussion are central to the residency. In addition to advice from internationally-practicing artists, curators and other art professionals, facilities include extensive technical workshops, a library, artist’s documentation and art collections.
Resident artists pursue all major contemporary visual art disciplines: painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, film, sound and new media, and links with other disciplines such as architecture, theatre, music, dance, literature and film are possible.
Applying
Each year approximately twenty-five artists are invited for a residency. Artists can apply for the residency from January to December 2008 through the online application form. The deadline for application is 1 February 2007.
