The Reading Room (Goethe Institut Johannesburg) was a place for contemplation, conversation, screenings, small-scale events, and reading. The starting point for this engagement was the series of portrait paintings entitled Heroes (by Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi). It was an inquiry into the subjective nature of the term ‘hero’: What is a hero? Do we need and therefore create our heroes? Who gets memorialised and who is forgotten?
