The South Africa Film and Video Project
(SAFVP) assists in preserving and making accessible moving images from
the years of struggle against apartheid. This project aims to safeguard
memories of this important political movement and to inspire citizens
of South Africa and the world to promote justice and reconciliation in
our own time. In addition to on-line streaming of the productions,
copies of some materials are being made available through the MSU
Libraries.
The SAFVP is a collaborative effort between Michigan State
University and partners in South Africa. We are eager to work with
partners to make valuable video materials available in ways that
respect the intellectual rights of the people who created them.

The fourth triennial World Summit on Arts and Culture, taking place
in Newtown, Johannesburg from 22 to 25 September, will explore ways in
which the arts can help to bridge social and cultural divides in a
post-9/11 world.
The summit, which takes place on African soil for the first time,
will coincide with South Africa's Heritage Day on 24 September and with
the Arts Alive arts and culture festival held annually in Johannesburg
in the same month.
Topical issues like cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue in a globalised world will be under the spotlight.
Theme
According to Joburg's director of arts, culture and heritage, Steven
Sack, the summit will be an opportunity for Johannesburg to show off
its significant art and culture infrastructure and artists to delegates
from many parts of the world.
The summit's theme is "Meeting of Cultures: Making Meaning through
the Arts". Mike van Graan, executive director of the African Arts
Institute and the summit's programme director, says the summit will
explore how the arts can help to foster intercultural dialogue and
social cohesion.
"We are living in a post-9/11 world, where communities are
increasingly divided by values, beliefs and religion – their culture,
rather than political ideology," says Van Graan. "Whether in Europe,
Africa or Asia, immigrants often suffer the effects of xenophobia based
on fear and perceived vulnerability, largely based on ignorance."

4-6 SEPTEMBER 2009
The Es’kia Mphahlele Postgraduate Colloquium and Arts Forum is
an annual event initiated in tribute to renowned writer and
intellectual, Es’kia Mphahlele, who had a life-long interest in the
training and mentoring of emerging artists and scholars. This year’s
event, to be held at University of the Witwatersrand’s School of Literature and Language Studies, will feature a keynote address by acclaimed writer and scholar, Professor Njabulo Ndebele.
Es’kia Mphahlele was one of South Africa's
literary giants; a prolific writer and academic, he was also an arts
enthusiast and African humanist. He dedicated his life to not only his
own work but also to recognising and uplifting African art, promoting
education and as a human rights activist. His death has meant a
profound loss for South Africa, Africa and the world. This colloquium is an effort to honor and celebrate his life.
