Durban Power Talks is a three-part experience. Through provocation, reimagining and reflection, creatives in the city, alongside leaders, policymakers and art institute representatives, are invited to sit in the Gestalt, play a part in the spectacle, and unpack the meaning of power.
The Durban Power Talks are a deep dive into how space, people, art, and politics influence local creative dynamics. Over three days, three facilitators will assume the roles of provocateur, animateur, and reflecteur with an aim to provoke critical reflection on the form, function, dynamics and implications of power for Durban’s cultural scene.
The programme is centred on the spaces and three figures, who will carefully curate conversations with Power Talks guests. Our facilitators are: Ismail Farouk as provocateur, Russel Hlongwane as animateur and Nocebo Bucibo as reflecteur.
