Dear Colleagues

The **Tuesday evening seminar series** in the School of Architecture and Planning at Wits will be resuming on **Tuesday 7 March**. The programme for the first few weeks is as follows:

7 March – Marie Huchzermeyer (School of Architecture and Planning, Wits University)
 * ‘Today’s tenement city? Large scale multi-storey private rental in Nairobi’**

14 March – Sally Gaule (School of Architecture and Planning, Wits University)
 * ‘Circuits of power and powerlessness: Newtown in the 20th century’**

21 March – Public holiday

28 March - Moderated discussion: The directorate of Arts, Social Development and Youth of the National Department of Arts and Culture is beginning to focus on human settlements. In order to support this initiative, we have offered to host a discussion within the housing seminar forum. The intention of this discussion is to brainstorm ways in which arts and culture, with youth and social development, can be promoted in the way our cities, and in particular housing projects, are assembled. This will be an interactive ‘seminar’, and those with experience and ideas in this area are encouraged to bring with any material they may have to share. This could be in the form of pamphlets, articles, photographs. Do notify us by e-mail reply, should you need us to organise a slide projector or data-projector (short 3-5 minute presentations). We will be joined by Phola Mabizela, Director of Arts, Social Development and Youth and some of her colleagues.
 * ‘How to promote arts and culture in housing/human settlements?’**


 * Please also note the **WISER seminar** to be held this coming **Tuesday 28 February**, which may be of interest: Fanuel Motsepe, architect, on **Johannesburg:** **Beyond the Apartheid City**. Venue: **WISER seminar room, 6th floor, Richard Ward Building**, Wits East Campus. PLEASE NOTE: tel 717-4234 for any information required.***********
