The IPP & 'This is your place'

The IPP interacted with a workshop during March titled 'This is your place', run by Bettina Malcomess, Dorothee Kreutzfeldt and Puleng Plessie with learners from New Model High School. The students produced photocopied booklets with maps, interviews and songs composed in response to the area around their school (Jeppestown and City & Suburban).
   







After a short recap of the student's work from the previous week and a show and tell of the IPP, the students separated into groups to walk different routes through the area. We walked in the rapidly developing Maboneng precinct with Bettina, Cynthia, Puleng, Thandekile & Musa. Bettina led the way to a building with a basement submerged under water. Thandekile recognised the relative of Khulekani "Mgqumeni" Khumalo (a popular  maskandi singer who died in 2009 but was recently the subject of a hoax reincarnation by Sibusiso Gcabashe).

The CKG's final booklet: produced the following week



'This is your place' was part of an ongoing exhibition by Malcomess and Kreutzfeldt (deadheat) titled Not No Place at Goethe on Main (Arts on Main - 245 Main Street, City and Suburban, JHB) 24 March - 14 April 2012.
