About this Event

Ubuntu – I am because we are is a multi-stranded exhibition and workshop programme conceived by Jason Forrest, Sharon Bertram, and Ian Thompson.

The philosophy of ubuntu, originating from the Bantu and Xhosa traditions of southern Africa, and later popularised by Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela, embodies the idea that our humanity is deeply interconnected. The phrase ‘I am because we are’ expresses values of community, collectivism, and shared responsibility, fostering an awareness of how our lives are shaped by those around us.

The event will begin with a 60-minute presentation by Professor Reid, followed by a 30-minute Q&A session. Together, we will consider how ideas of interconnectedness, belonging, and shared humanity emerge in urban contexts.

Following the talk, participants are invited to take part in a creative workshop, using drawing or collage, to design an A5 postcard inspired by the theme of Ubuntu. These contributions will become part of the accompanying Ubuntu exhibition in Camberwell Space.
