Welcome to Season 4 of the ICA podcast, where we interview artists and curators who perform and curate live interdisciplinary works.
In our fourth episode of the season, artists Nelisiwe Xaba and Mocke Jansen Van Veuren speak about their work creating FAKE N.E.W.S, a multidisciplinary project integrating performance and digital art. The work explored misinformation, conspiracy theories and science denialism rampant on social media and traditional media platforms. The production pushed boundaries and provoked some heightened post performance conversations. The development of this iteration of the project was conducted through workshops with artists and students in Cape Town.
In the podcast, the always ironic and pointed Xaba, talks through the creation of this work with collaborator van Veuren. Both consider processes of conceptualizing the work and most importantly and productively around working with students on a work that is not predetermined, but developed through the collective participation and subjective experiences of all participants. The two artists talk through the pains and rewards of the process as it involves young artists and students.
Season 4 of the ICA Podcast comprises interviews conducted by Nkgopoleng Moloi and produced by Atiyyah Khan.
This is an initiative created by the Institute for Creative Arts which is based at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. Thank you for listening.
