Earlier this month, Naomi Osaka was heckled during a second round match at the 2022 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. Osaka responded to the incident by sharing how this experience affected her game and how this was not the first incident of heckling at the venue, citing the Williams’ sisters experience back in 2001. Osaka is one of many young and successful professional athletes that have not only shared their mental health journey but withdrawn from active competition over the past year

According to the British Pyschological Society, the seven deadly sins were inspired by humankind’s perpetual struggle to rise above our natural instincts and manage the emotions associated with the sin. To postpone gratification today for tomorrow’s greater reward. To sacrifice our own needs for the good of others. Self-restraint is like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets. But, it’s also a finite resource. For those who may not know what the seven deadly sins are, they are pride, envy, greed, wrath, lust, gluttony and sloth.

As a young intellectual, Adam Small strongly advocated for the use of one’s voice. It was this medium which he used to denounce various human rights abuses under the Apartheid government. Small used various platforms such as newspaper columns, open letters, his poems, plays, essays and public speaking. Our next guest created a theatrical production that helps us explore the works of this poet and how his work still helps us to recognise our origins, how to recognise ourselves in others and how to explore our shared future. The production has won five Fiësta awards in 2021, including the Best Festival Production. It is currently running at the ArtsScape in Cape Town until Sunday

The focus of Disrupt II is a range of new works, dealing with the theme of disruption, evoking the zeitgeist of our times. The installation includes a selection from the artist’s series of 101 handmade artist books, entitled “101 ways to long for a home” seeks to subvert the traditional notion of linear word-based storytelling. It employs a fragmented visual language and relies on the multi-layered meanings generated by found material. The discarded parquet floor blocks featured in the intricate construction of the books and objects are sourced from Woodstock in Cape Town, where a gentrification process causes the demolition of old homes and buildings.
