NORVAL FOUNDATION EVENTS

Norval Foundation is excited to announce that we will be hosting a film screening of the acclaimed South African film ‘Necktie Youth’ on the 30 of June??

Shot in black and white, Shongwe-La Mer’s films is a tale of disaffected youth, bad drugs, bravado and suicide, set amongst the leafy suburbs of middle class Johannesburg. It`s one year after the death of Jabz`s friend Emily who mysteriously live streamed her own suicide on the internet. While a documentary crew tries to make sense of her death, Jabz and others who knew Emily are desperate to forget. Jabz and September float through the city in a borrowed Jaguar, mouthing off about race, politics and bizarre sexual encounters.??

Irma is a multimedia theatre play about the life and work of Irma Stern addressing the complexity of image making by Eva Bartels and Iman Isaacs.

Eva Bartels is an artist and theatermaker from the Netherlands who finds herself in dialogue with Iman Isaacs – a South African director, actor and theatre maker with Cape Malay roots. The conversation uses the life and work of Irma Stern as a point of departure to reflect on themes such as extraction vs exchange, exoticism, political and non-political choices in art, cultural and ancestral knowledge, chasing the sense of belonging, a female future, the activistic power of art and theatre.

You are warmly invited to the opening and walkabout of `Horizon: Selections from the Sanlam Collection` and `Vessel`, hosted by Norval Foundation and Boschendal Wine Farm. Walkabout these two amazing new exhibitions with curators Stefan Hundt and Clare Patrick at the Manor House of Boschendal Wine Farm.
