Setai, Phokeng Tshepho
This doctoral thesis is an interpretive study of the emergence of contemporary curatorial practice on the African continent. The inquiry charts the rise of the practice of curating in postcolonial Africa, casting a biographical lens on the curatorial strategies of three pre-eminent contemporary Black-African curators — Koyo Kouoh, Ntone Edjabe and Gabi Ngcobo. It pays particular attention to the conceptual and methodological approaches these individuals have utilized in their negotiation of the emergent genre of curatorial practice on the African continent; in the context of a neoliberalising landscape in the global contemporary art-world. This thesis is an exploration of the present-day expanded role of contemporary curatorial practice, and the nascent formations of cultural production emerging from the rise of the curator — models of which have helped to situate the role of the curatorial practitioner at the political centre of our contemporary moment in the African and global art-world.

Human life experiences are closely intertwined with our relationships with other animals and the environment. From the late 19th century to the late 20th century, Cart-horses served as an informal travel market for the community of District Six of Cape Town. However, because of forced migration, the role of horses in the city of Cape Town changed as people`s living experiences changed. Cape Town City Council may have animal laws regulating the ethical treatment of working horses concerning people's living and working conditions. Informal communities like Freedom Farm rely on carthorses, however, this is not necessarily regulated for the benefit of horses. Non-human animals in urban environments offer perspectives for rethinking urban society. Actor-network theory (ANT) is an empirical, research-based interdisciplinary perspective that focuses on the process of translation and the role of non-human actors in various observations and experiences.

Moodie, Liezl
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 and the accompanying lockdown, social distancing and quarantine measures across the world separated individuals and families from their loved ones. This separation and social isolation also resulted in loss of jobs due to the closure of the hospitality industry and other sectors. It also caused loneliness and anxiety disorders in individuals with pre-existing vulnerabilities. The government of South Africa provided safety nets and social protection in the form of grants to vulnerable groups. Despite these interventions, most individuals who had suffered the worst impact of COVID-19 lockdown on their emotional wellbeing seemed to have been left without adequate access to treatments and coping resources.
