WHEN THE FIRES GO DOWN
Lesego Rampolokeng
AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF HOLES
Stacy Hardy
In conversation with Rofhiwa Maneta
Thursday, 30 April 2026
6pm for 6:30pm
Lit.Culture @ Breezeblock
Brixton, Johannesburg
Rampolokeng writes from the hour after ignition—
the false calm, the smoke-hang, the long reckoning—
When the fires go down…
Hardy moves through holes—
in bodies, in memory, in love, in the earth—
finding strange, liberatory absences.
