DeAesthetic. Writing with and from the Black Sonic
presents essays by Johannesburg-based artist, jazz percussionist and thinker
Tumi Mogorosi. The essays focus on the Black Sonic as a dislocated episteme,
which identifies the aesthetic as a limitation. In their de-centering, the
texts fundamentally open a way to write and read beyond hegemonic knowledge
validations. As a reading that straddles between Brenda Fassie, Louis
Armstrong, Louis Moholo-Moholo and Sade, they are in visual conversation with
symbols created by Emeka Alams of Gold Coast Trading Company. For this session
Tumi Mogorosi will be joined by social researcher Zara Julius.
Join us in Mamelodi East on Saturday 16 October for the conversation.
