Relevance and Commitment: Apprentices of Freedom

Nadine Gordimer writes this insightful paper on the key concepts of "relevance" and "commitment" in relation to black and white writers. She argues that black writers write from their communities and have daily lives which are embedded within relevant contexts. So too, their commitment to black liberation is innate. She suggests that white writers ought to break out of white value systems and a false consciousness to create relevant art and to openly admit that their experience as being white is of a different order to being black. These are the imperatives which both black and white writers face. The whole aim of art, in its attainment of truth and essence, requires the white writer to attain a true consciousness so that both black and white writers may work for the same end.

Boycott Action

This document, composed by the Medu Art Collective, is a political input calling for a cultural boycott against Apartheid. This boycott aims at foreign artistic or cultural groups touring South Africa, boycotting the Apartheid government's cultural events and for progressive organisations to collectively and diligently organise these boycotts against Apartheid.
