Prof. Kate Wells, Research Professor at the Durban University of Technology, is to give her third Keynote address in Bristol at the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Conference between 24th- 26th June 2013. She has been invited to talk about her ongoing work in the Siyazama Project in South Africa.
Of interest, Prof's Marsha Macdowell and Kurt Dewhurst, of Michigan State University Museum, in East Lansing, Michigan, were recently in Durban with Kate. Great news is that they will be returning to the USA with the beadwork collection of the Siyazama Project. This collection includes beaded jewellery, beaded cloth dolls and beaded tableaus. Whist in South Africa, they had an important meeting with UKZN Press, in Pietermaritzburg, and have been given the go-ahead to produce a further book on the project. This time it will be a 'coffee table glossy', which aims to reveal much about the tableau collection of Siyazama. Work will begin on this immediately.
Kate is also writing a Chapter for a new book by Oxford University Press also within the arts in health realm.
