NWU Graphic Design, Music, and History of Art departments will take part in workshops designed to foster interdisciplinary and artistic research. This integrative project aims to explore how language and the arts can foster intercultural connections among individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds, while also promoting collaboration across various academic disciplines.
The residency will culminate in a multifaceted exhibition and performance on 24 July, 2025, featuring a combination of installation text, visual art, graphic scores, sign language, and sonic performances created collaboratively by Dr. Connelly, staff, and students.
Dr. Connelly’s residency is hosted by the research entities ViNCO (Visual Narratives and Creative Outputs) and MASARA (Musical Arts in South Africa: Resources and Application), marking the first phase of a long-term collaborative research initiative.
