LECTURE
“An Examination of Doual’art’s Culture and Urban
Transformation Processes” – Presented by Zayd Minty
Date: Tuesday, 10 July 2007
Time: 17h30 for 18h00 Fee: Free
Venue: Whale Well,
Iziko SA Museum
This paper is an examination of Doual’art’s culture
and urban transformation practices, 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 neighbourhood.
Analysing these three projects provides material to
understand the organisation’s methodology conceptually as an act of
insurgent urban practice. This is intended to stimulate the
residents to reconsider their agency as citizens and provide the
impetus for thinking about the connection between imaginaries and
transformation in an urban context. more>>

Climate change is an ongoing natural phenomenon
caused by many interacting forces of nature. The Karoo rocks and
fossils record climatic fluctuations that occurred over time scales
of millions of years – many times longer than the historical records
– and thus they offer us an insight into long-term natural changes,
as well as some major unpredictable catastrophes.
