Igshaan Adams speaks about how domestic spaces, everyday movement through Cape Town's segregated landscape, and personal introspection have informed his artistic practice. He reflects on the impact sufism had both in his life and in his work. Igshaan shares how tapestries can hold experiences, and how weaving has become a way to reconcile different parts of himself. Adams also discusses the importance of collaboration, particularly with family members and people from his community. Mentioned in this episode:Philani, a NPO working in KhayelitshaSufismIn Between (Igshaan Adams, 2011) ‘When Dust Settles’ exhibition (2018)Desire linesThe Practice of Everyday Life (Michel de Certeau, 1984)Bismillah performance (Igshaan Adams, 2014) Paul Gilroy’s concept of ‘a planetary humanism’To find out more about Igshaan’s work, visit blank projects’ website or follow him on Instagram.Music for the JCAF Knowledge Talks podcast was commissioned by JCAF. ‘INGWENYA’, performed by the Afrikan Freedom Principle, led by Mandla Mlangeni, © MM Publishing.Website URL: ⁠⁠⁠jcaf.org.za⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠foundation_jcaf
