Conference and Exhibition: Agitation

Agitation is a conference and exhibition, convened and curated by members of Eco-Imagining, a collaborative research project, with the Wits Origins Centre.

The conversations we are shaping include how we might best address water, energy and food insecurity; systematic injustices and the uneven distribution of resources; and impacts of climate change on the availability of and access to sufficient, reliable and safe water, energy and food. The artwork on display – videos, sculptures, photography and drawing - will include contributions from community artists and other artists in Makhanda and Johannesburg; we will also include performances at the opening reception. The exhibition will also feature archaeological and ethnographic material from the Origins Centre collection.

Prior to the conference, artists will be working on a mural outside the Centre, and the opening session and reception will celebrate their work.
