EVENTS CALENDAR
It is a pleasure to welcome the new Director
of the FNCC, Jean-Paul Martin, who is arriving
just as the Namibian spring is in the air! We are
sure that his vast experience in international
relations will lead to the further strengthening
of the strong bond that already exists between
our countries and that the centre will benefit
from his leadership.
The programme on offer for the next two
months reflects the cultural and educational
diversity which has become characteristic of
the FNCC’s offering. It will again emphasize
the importance of this hub as a multi-faceted
venue where artists can showcase their work,
and where the public can gather for a variety
of reasons such as language tuition, film
viewing, storytelling, use of the resource
library, or for events.
Some of the forthcoming highlights will be the
art and photographic exhibitions, the Acoustic
Friday concert, the ‘Spring has Sprung’ Theatre
Sports and the ‘Park Talk’ on the leopard survey
done in Namibia. The FNCC has over the years
worked very closely with its sister organizations
to address issues of national importance.
In order to strengthen a reading culture, it
will be presenting the ‘Namibian Youth Book
Fair’ in collaboration with the Goethe Centre,
with support from the Arts Directorate in the
MYNSSC. This event, which will take place
at the end of October, will bring three wellknown writers and storytellers from different
African countries to Windhoek. Namibian artists
and writers will also have the opportunity to
participate in the development of a series of
comic strips under the able guidance of local
artists Erik Schnack and Oshosheni Hiveluah.
With so much on offer, we hope to see those
of you who were homebound during the
winter cold spells out on the lovely terraces
of the FNCC.

OCTOBER
Le CCFN connaîtra en cette fin d’année 2012
une activité intense avec l’organisation du
premier salon multilingue du livre de jeunesse.
Grâce au Fonds franco-allemand institué en
2003 à l’occasion du 40ème anniversaire du
Traité de l’Elysée encourageant les initiatives
de coopération culturelle franco-allemande à
l’étranger, ce projet a pu être conçu dans un
partenariat élargi à toutes les institutions et
structures culturelles namibiennes ainsi que les
différentes représentations diplomatiques.
Ce projet est essentiel à plusieurs titres.
Il est en premier lieu dédié à une jeunesse avide
de lectures et de connaissances dans une société
où l’information arrive souvent aux enfants de
façon brutale et violente.
La littérature de jeunesse ne se limite pas
à de simples supports livresques favorisant
l’apprentissage de la lecture et de l’écriture,
elle peut apporter les clefs pour que les enfants
puissent appréhender le réel et favoriser leurs
premiers pas dans le monde.
On néglige souvent la fiction dans la maturation
des jeunes enfants.
En second lieu, c’est un projet qui peut enraciner
la démarche partenariale. Défendre les langues,
leur expression, c’est donner une réalité, une
substance à ce mot bien souvent galvaudé de
« diversité culturelle ».
La Namibie recèle une richesse culturelle et
linguistique rare. Ses artistes, ses créateurs
doivent tout faire pour la mettre à la portée de
cette jeunesse namibienne.
Réunir auteurs, illustrateurs, artistes, opérateurs
culturels au bénéfice des enfants par le biais
d’ateliers de rencontres, d’animations, de lectures
publiques favorise l’absolue nécessité de lire pour
avancer dans la vie, quel que soit notre âge.
Lire, c’est donner du sens au monde qui nous
entoure et nos enfants ont besoin de cet oxygène,
de cet imaginaire qui accompagneront les livres,
les histoires, les langues et les dessins qu’ils
pourront découvrir tout au long du mois d’octobre
2012.

Beyond Colored Waters – A Photo Exhibition by Niina Turtola
STORYTELLING HOUR
I see a rabbit the height of two meters in the desert. A zebra making a
360 turn to show me the stripes - on request. Little suns in the waters
reflecting. It could not exist without I within. An alien flower.
Storytelling in English by Pandu. The theme is: Caring for our environment.
Niina Turtola, one of the finalists of
Namibia’s 2011 Month of Photography,
is presenting a meditative photo exhibition
entitled Beyond Colored Waters at the
FNCC gallery. Niina is a visual artist,
photographer and designer from Finland
currently living in Windhoek, where she

The days of rigid structures and
somberness in his earlier works is making
room for a more charming, humouristic
approach to the interaction between
human figures. “With these art works I
try to capture emotions which inspire us
to go to greater extents”, says Pieter.
24-year old Jacques Mushaandja is a
unique singer of African chants and
rhythms. His music is a fusion of Shambo,
soul, and traditional chants, amongst
others. Interested in depicting his identity
as an African man his music looks into
ancestral heritage and history as well as
the current African socio-political condition.
His sound is accompanied by legendary
storytelling, exuberant costumes and
traditional dances. At times, Jacques also
incorporates his cultural rituals to gain
more stage wisdom and energy from his
ancestors; in fact, his whole performance
is a ritual.
COURSES
His love for the cubism of Picasso and
the surrealism of Dali and Miró is most
apparent in Pieter Basson’s art; so are
the influences by bushmen art and ancient
Egyptian paintings. Yet the Namibian
born graphic designer has developed
his distinctive trade mark cubism, a
unique pop-art-style of his own, sometimes
reminiscent of Keith Haring’s colourful
dancing men.

PARK TALK: The National Leopard Survey
During this edition of Park Talk we will take a look at the results obtained
from the National Leopard Survey of 2011.
The National Leopard Survey was undertaken from
November 2010 until January 2012. It was conducted
to better understand the population dynamics,
densities and distributions of leopards in Namibia,
particulary pertaining to commercial farmlands
where they are percieved to cause problems for
livestock. Added to that, the same species is also
mostly hunted on commercial farmlands. This is why
commercial farms were the focal point for the survey.
Three survey areas were sampled to deduce high,
medium and low density of leopards on Namibian
commercial farmlands.

infant, August Rush, orphaned by

Namibian artists are invited to participate
in a comic book / storyboard creation
workshop at the FNCC in September.
This unique and first of its kind endeavor
will be facilitated by Namibian artist
and published comic book author Erik
Schnack in collaboration with writer
and film maker Oshosheni Hiveluah.
In August, participants were invited to
apply with an existing story and
accompanying visuals. During the
seminar each artist will work on the creation
of a 2-page comic. The comics will be
published in what is probably Namibia’s
first comic book specifically for children.
Watch out for the launch of this exciting
project during the Namibia Youth Book Fair
from 26 to 29 October.

NOS COUPS DE CŒUR FRANCOPHONES
Dans cette rubrique consacrée aux écrivains francophones, nous avons
pour ce numéro choisi l’écrivain et poète marocain, Tahar Ben Jelloun.
Reconnu pour la qualité de sa langue, pour ses dons de conteur, il tient
également une chronique dans le quotidien Le Monde où il analyse avec
finesse les bouleversements que traversent les pays arabes.
Tahar Ben Jellun est un fervent défenseur de
la langue française. Son premier texte, un
poème, a été publié en 1968 dans la revue
Souffles. Depuis, il ne cesse d’écrire, en prenant
soin de diversifier les thèmes et les formes
d’écriture. Connu du grand public depuis son
prix Goncourt en 1987 pour La Nuit Sacrée, son œuvre côtoie le
conte, la légende, les rites maghrébins, les mythes ancestraux...
L’originalité de Ben Jelloun réside dans son art de saisir tous les aspects de la
tradition et des cultures maghrébines dans sa confrontation avec la modernité et
son cortège de difficultés qui peuplent la vie quotidienne.
Son écriture dérange par la mise en scène de thèmes privilégiés longtemps etouffés
et exclus de la parole comme l’enfance saccagée, prostituée, l’errance culturelle
de l’immigré, fou combien sage, homme-femme, et tant d’autres figures qui sont
la substance de l’œuvre romanesque de Ben Jelloun.
