ABOUT
This is for oHome-Slice. Don't ever say I've been swallowed by iGoli, I still feel you and I am coming to you.I roll heavy this time, with KwaMuhle Museum and the Institute of Afrikology (DUT) in my corner. They are making this all possible.
The topic for the evening: Ubizo, Mental Health and Intergenerational Trauma.
Nge-Speakit, isingisi esikhulu, the talk aims to:
- Highlight where ubizo (ancestral/creative/spiritual calling) intersects and diverges with symptoms of some mental illnesses
- Explore a map of the beliefs and cosmologies of iSintu* and how they affect people’s worldviews regarding mental and physical health
- Decode the lexicon of dreams, “witchcraft” and other supernatural phenomena to understand spiritual, emotional and mental distress and trauma
My Grancestors and I are ready to take your phethinent kweshins, so bring your thinking caps. Also, bring your dancing shoes because Mashayabhuqe kaMamba and Nomvula Munnie are there for the Likers.
MC: Ashantewaa Archer-Ngidi
