  • Library Jams Ep. 6: Mandla Mangeni © Goethe-Institut Johannesburg

    Library Jams Ep. 6: Mandla Mlangeni

    For this special episode of the LibraryJams, South African trumpeter Mandla Mlangeni brought together Ariel Zamonsky (bass) and Xolani Mfula (tap) to create a one-of-a kind performance! Each artist brings their own unique flavour to our library, as shown during their take on "musical chairs", where they take the stage one after another. However, the full strength of the group comes when they combine all their voices, weaving their sounds intricately together.

  • Archive of Forgetfulness © Goethe-Institut Johannesburg

    Archive of Forgetfulness

    The Archive of Forgetfulness online exhibition is live since the 12th of April 2021. We received over 300 submissions and 27 projects were selected for the online exhibition. Click here to go to the website.
