As a build-up to the celebration of
Youth Day commemorating June 16,
1976, Iziko Museums of Cape Town will host an Inter-generational
Dialogue that will feature one of South Africa’s political
stalwarts, Ahmad Kathrada and the current UCT SRC president, Thulani
Madinginye.
South Africa’s post-1994 society introduced a number of future
prospects and challenges for the nation, particularly for young
people. One of the challenges is the communication breakdown between
an older generation of resistance activism and the present
generation of young people. The recognition of community heroes and
heroines is imperative in our collective heritage and has a role to
play in bridging the generation gap. As a response to this need,
Iziko hopes to contribute to the processes of social cohesion,
national healing and reconciliation.
This exciting event forms part of youth month activities, in
partnership with the National Department of Arts and Culture, the
National Youth Commission and Artscape.
The event takes place in the
I-SAM
Whale Well
at 12:00 PM on 12 June 2008.
Please join Iziko in keeping to our commitment to provide public
education and promoting South African heritage by ensuring that
these museum sites are platforms for socio-cultural transformation
and lively engagement. We look forward to hosting you at this
significant event.
