“Working from Overwhelmed” 

A warm-up discussion

- - -

Join us at the UJ Art Gallery (map) for Working from Overwhelmed, a warm-up discussion taking place inside the exhibition Overwhelmed. This Saturday at 2pm, SCCIP (Scholarship with Community Care is Possible) is having an informal discussion around the guiding concept of working from overburdened states. The plan is to inhabit the exhibition as a shared thinking space. In the current academic and artistic climate, there is continual pressure to take on overflowing amounts of intellectual, emotional and interpersonal labour. Led by artists Ruth Sacks and Shonisani Netshia, this conversation proposes ways of inhabiting systems in a constant state of imminent collapse, through sharing experiences of the research and pedagogic projects the group is currently involved with. We are hoping to move gently into a more formal academic forum later in the year, with a special edition interdisciplinary journal publication in mind. 

SCCIP is a postgraduate care community hosted by RGC with the support of friends from across disciplines in UJ Humanities and the Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture.
