The Collective together with 'the names we give' and the Centre for African Studies invite you to a film screening of
AFRIKAAPS
DYLAN VALLEY
Plexus Films/Glass House
Tuesday, 18 October, 18h00, Centre for African Studies Gallery, Harry Oppenheimer Institute Building, Engineering Mall, University of Cape Town Upper Campus
In his debut documentary, Afrikaaps (52 min), Dylan Valley explores the untold Creole history of Afrikaans, using what he knows best: Hip Hop, humour and personal perspective. The film follows a group of local artists creating the stage production, Afrikaaps, as they trace the true roots of Afrikaans to slaves in the Cape. It features the musical greats, Jitsvinger, Kyle Shepherd, Emile (black noise), Moenier Adams, Shane Cooper and Blaq Pearl, the powerhouse b-boy, Bliksemstraal, and the poetic genius of Jethro Louw. The film reclaims and liberates Afrikaans from its reputation as the language of the oppressor, taking it back to the people who own it. House Co-production.
