Reading Bushman w/ Victoire Karera Kampire
Book (or film) club about the film Bushman, w/ associated artist Victoire Karera Kampire.
This reading & watching group invites participants to explore "Bushman" (1971), directed by David Schickele, through the lens of
Édouard Glissant’s concept of the ‘Right to Opacity’, as developed in ‘Poetics of Relation’ (1990), alongside Louisa Yousfi’s essay ‘Rester barbare’ (2022).
The session will be structured around selected excerpts from the film in dialogue with key passages from the texts, fostering a
space for discussion and collective reflection.
