- Van Gogh – Immersive Exhibits – Episode 4
4 December 2021
Episode 4 - Van Gogh - Immersive Exhibits
Does Immersive Van Gogh enlighten and educate through a new genre of art, or is it a dangerous profit-mongering exploitation which keeps us in ignorance?
How should one understand or read a painting, anyway?
Is this the path for the future and for education?

- Adichie – “Tomorrow is Too Far” – Episode 3
19 November 2021
Episode 3 - Adichie’s “Tomorrow is Too Far”
How does one read a story which creates its own rules? What else should we ever do?
A sociological look at Adichie’s intersectionality, including a discussion of difference, second person narrative, feminism, and sociological theory for African writers and readers of African literature. Finally, we connect Adichie’s short story to works discussed earlier in the season.
One passage considered:
—
At Nonso’s funeral in a cold cemetery in Virginia with tombstones jutting out obscenely, your mother was in faded black from head to toe, even a veil, and it made her cinnamon skin glow, like placing a very ripe corn against a blackboard. Your father stood away from the both of you, in his usual dashiki, milk-coloured cowries coiled round his neck. He looked as if he was not family, as if he was one of the guests who sniffled loudly and later asked your mother in hushed tones exactly how Nonso had died, exactly how he had fallen from one of the trees he had climbed since he was a toddler.
