  • A Dialogue on Spirituality, Science and Humanity
    2017 MIND & LIFE XXXII Botho/Ubuntu: A Dialogue on Spirituality, Science and Humanity A Mind & Life Dialogue with the Dalai Lama 17–19 August, 2017 BOTHO UNIVERSITY | GABORONE, BOTSWANA 11 AUGUST 2017 The Private Office of the 14th Dalai Lama informed the Mind & Life Institute today that due to health reasons, His Holiness is unable to travel to Botswana. The important conference will continue as scheduled at Botho University in Gaborone, Botswana. In a statement, the Dalai Lama said, “I was very much looking forward to coming to Africa again and visiting your country. I was especially interested in taking part in discussions of Ubuntu, which I feel reflects my fundamental belief that we are all interdependent and need to conduct ourselves with a sense of universal responsibility. Despite my absence, I am urging the conference organizers to continue with their plans, to hold valuable discussion and publish the results.” WELCOME It is with sincere gratitude to the people of Botswana that I welcome you to the Mind & Life Dialogue, “Botho/Ubuntu: A Dialogue on Spirituality, Science and Humanity with the Dalai Lama.” This historic event was carried forth from the imagination of visionary and determined individuals here in Africa, across oceans and continents to the monks of India, and passed along through the hardworking hands of event planners, government officials and scores of volunteers to this very moment. And now we are together — poised with shared optimism and ready to discover new ideas through expert teachings on Botho/ Ubuntu, healing from the legacy of wars and colonialism, and advancing social justice and women’s equality.

Nelson Mandela (2000) SINOSSI BREVE A UNITED KINGDOM – L’AMORE CHE HA CAMBIATO LA STORIA è basato su eventi straordinari realmente accaduti. Eventi straordinari che hanno trasformato il mondo in un posto migliore. Nel 1947, Seretse Khama, erede al trono del Botswana, incontra in un bar Ruth Williams, impiegata bianca londinese e tra loro è amore a prima vista. Un amore travolgente e passionale, che in breve tempo spinge i due a convogliare a nozze. Ruth è affascinata dall’ostinata volontà di Seretse di lottare per un mondo più giusto e decide dal primo momento di sposare e condividere quella stessa visione. Entrambi percepiscono la necessità di un cambiamento: Seretse vede nuove opportunità per il suo popolo in seguito all’indebolimento del potere dell’Impero Britannico, Ruth intuisce la possibilità di una "vita più grande", più importante nel movimento delle donne per l'indipendenza e per l'uguaglianza.

  • Identity and Displacement at the Maitisong Festival Lebogang Disele1
    PULA: Botswana Journal of African Studies Vol. 29, No. 2, 2015 Searching for a place: Identity and displacement at the Maitisong Festival Lebogang Disele1 Abstract: This paper examines two contemporary theatre productions that were staged during the 2014 Maitisong Festival in Gaborone, the performed ethnographic narrative Morwa: the Rising Son written and performed by Tefo Omphile Paya and Keneilwe: a Dance for the Given choreographed by Tumisang Baatshwana. As examples of contemporary performances produced by Botswana youth, these productions give an insight into some topical issues that the nation is grappling with, specifically issues to do with constructions of identity and how identity is tied to place as well as normalized practices that inform Botswana gender politics. Morwa brings to the stage issues of masculinity and the search for the Self in contemporary Botswana society. Keneilwe, inspired by the removals of San communities from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, deals with issues of displacement. This production brings to light how the long-lasting process of ethnic stratification colludes with the silencing by Government through policies of displacement and relocation of the San. It dramatizes moments of displacement and shows how the displaced strive to create new identities and ways of re-connecting with each other as re-aggregated communities. Key words: Botswana contemporary theatre, displacement, identity construction, Maitisong Festival, national narrative, patriarchy 1 Lecturer in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, University of Botswana. E-mail: [email protected] PULA: Botswana Journal of African Studies Vol. 29, No. 2, 2015 Introduction For the past twenty eight years Gaborone, Botswana’s capital city, has played host to the Maitisong Festival.
