Kobus Moolman will facilitate the Word and Image Creative Writing Workshop
to be held in the Durban Art Gallery this weekend. (August 24-25)
Drawing inspiration from the exhibition Conversations We Do Not Have: Acquiescence which
is currently running in the Durban Art Gallery, this workshop will explore the
ways in which word and image relate in order to express the individual voice.
Kobus Moolman teaches creative writing at
the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban. He was recently the Mellon
Writer-in-Residence for three months in Grahamstown, courtesy of Rhodes
University. He has published five previous collections of poetry, as well as
several plays. He has also edited an anthology of poetry, prose and art by
South African writers living with disabilities.
He has been awarded the Ingrid Jonker
Prize, the PANSA award for best drama, the DALRO poetry prize, the BBC African
Theatre award and the South African Literary Award for poetry.
The Creative Writing Workshop takes place
in the Durban Art Gallery, 2nd floor, City Hall, 105 Anton Lembede
