@tedbotha @DalrympleWill What's Johannesburg's Hollywood?

@poormanscaviar We need to be paid for all the extra work it takes to follow up on the payments 🙄🙄

@Amy_L_Wilson_ In this case,they sent me the PO, with their payment due in 30 days, but also with all the ad agency details and contacts. So they got the cash for all artists in April, been sitting on it since then and now saying they not paid yet. But amazingly will have it by month end.

Myself and another artist waiting on fair chunk of change from a production company, monies taking bit long so we query and get told client is dragging feet. Send heavy-handed mail, knowing it's bullshit and get told end of month due to cash flow issues. 😂😭😂😭

a great opportunity for artists + researchers 👇

@NadPatel1 @OnTheMoveOTM @africanofilter Thank you !

@Amy_L_Wilson_ Bit of a mish mash of sources, some sent to me direct and some via newsletters. Love @OnTheMoveOTM and @africanofilter - they should cover the majority of opps that might be of interest to you...

@GabrielleHecht @DukePress @lizault Looking forward to reading it later this year! Thank you (from South africa) for making it open access !

@NadPatel1 Thank you for this ! Really helpful.

you don't need lots of skills to write a good application, just respond to the brief (don't shoe horn an existing idea into the wrong grant opp) a good accessor can see past the formatting & slick pitch they just want to get to the heart of an idea & think yep, this does it.

@KaravanPress Beautiful covers!

@brittlepaper @JoelMCabrita @OhioUnivPress Astonishing. Had to go and order the book immediately to know more.

Historian @JoelMCabrita joined us for an enriching conversation about her book WRITTEN OUT: THE SILENCING OF REGINA GELANA TWALA (@OhioUnivPress). Twala, a Black South African woman, lived in the early 1900s in apartheid South Africa & colonial Eswatini. buff.ly/3GWqmhA

@TalyaGalasko Shantaram

a gorgeous gorgeous man sits next to you at a coffee shop. he pulls out a book and you see the title. immediately he goes from a 10 to a 0. what is the book?

Innovation and technology are often viewed through a Western prism, but what if we viewed it through the lens of African history and traditions? #MozillaAwardee 'Dzata' rethinks innovation, mixing speculative fiction and fantasy. More here: mzl.la/3zcfLuM
