The 2022 Mondays at Six at St Clements programme will kick off with favourite Mondays at Six storyteller, Paul Mikula.
You may know Spike Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall.
Now we have Paul Mikula’s My Best Time Ever: Defending the Reich… His experiences as a child in the Second World War.
The programme, which takes place on February 7, 2022, could share screeds on Mikula’s attributes, achievements, creativity and idiosyncratic humour. Suffice to say: “architect best known for many inventive buildings that reflect his wide social and cultural interests”.
He also draws, paints, writes, and is a long-time curator and collector of artifacts. He was the founder and is now the managing trustee of the Phansi uBuntuArtMuseum, a Durban gem and one of South Africa’s more unique and special places to visit, enjoy, learn, play, celebrate art, culture and life.
If you don’t know the Phansi uBuntuArt Museum or even if you do, click through to this YouTube video to see the collection and hear Paul talk about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb6vHmCLPfE
“We collect for beauty. For intention and meaning. And for the craft, materials, tools and circumstances that shape the final product.” Check out the Phansi Museum website
