with work by Keorapetse Kgositsile, Donata Francisco Mattera, Phillippa Yaa de Villiers & Lebo Mashile
A text sample of a touring project, Beyond Words brings together four key artists from South Africa – Poet Laureate Keorapetse Kgositsile (better known as Bra Willie), Donata Francisco Mattera, Phillippa Yaa de Villiers and Lebo Mashile – to showcase new work, work which is essentially still evolving, alive. The range of work covers a look back at South Africa’s recent history, and particularly focuses on looking forward and where we can go together when we think beyond words.
“...a very impressive line up of some of South Africa’s finest and most powerful poets.”
– Linton Kwesi Johnson
"their concerns, references and aspirations resonate far beyond the borders of the country that defines them, and the continent that encompasses that nation"
- Margaret Busby
