Association of Personnel Service Organisations Conference

Sun, 10 Oct 2010 04:34:56 +0100

I was a guest speaker at this Association of Personnel Service Organisations (APSO) conference last month.

"The APSO is committed to the upliftment and professionalization of the labour recruitment industry in South Africa. With thirty years experience, APSO is well placed to provide guidance to member agencies, client companies and work seekers who want to ensure that their dealings within the labour recruitment sector are legally compliant and operate according to Best Practice Standards."

There was an interesting key note by Justice Malala on 'Zumanomics', looking at the leadership and context of Zuma's term in the presidency.

Faces of IGLYO - Exhibition opening at UCT

Tue, 25 May 2010 22:28:59 +0100

I was invited to speak at the opening of an interesting photo exhibition hosted by RainbowUCT on gay activism titled 'Faces of IGLYO'. Thanks to Alex Muller for allowing the photos - the caption of this print reads: "Activism is a way of life. It is every day, everywhere and with every person I work with. It is improving the way society perceives LGBTQ people and is ensuring that all of us can enjoy the rights we possess."

More info... "In July 2009, the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Youth and Student Organisation (IGLYO) celebrated its 25th anniversary with an international LGBTQ activist conference in Amsterdam, bringing together more than 80 activists from all regions of the world. The exhibition “Faces of IGLYO” consists of portraits some of these activists. It reflects the manifold backgrounds, experiences and people within the international LGBTQ community.
Activists dedicate an enormous amount of their time, of their capacities and their energy to change the current circumstances and situations. Very often, their personal efforts and sacrifices go unnoticed in the struggle for LGBTQ rights. This exhibition is also meant to act as a space for acknowledgement and recognition of the tremendously important contribution of each of these individual activists towards achieving equality for all LGBTQ people in all regions of the world.
On the occasion of IGLYO’s 25th birthday, Alex Muller has created portraits of 15 activists from all over the world. She is a self-taught photographer from Germany and considers photography a powerful tool of social activism. Her work mainly focuses on local and international activism around LGBT rights and health. From the jubilee conference in Amsterdam, the exhibition traveled on to World Outgames 2009 in Copenhagen, where it was exhibited on occasion of the International Conference on LGBT Human Rights at the IT University. It has since started its journey through Scandinavia and is traveling on. The struggles we face are unique in each country. However, what we share are our convictions, our knowledge and our passion."
