This paper examines how South Africa's climate change plans shifts understandings of the right to water and how Apartheid-era policies are reified through contemporary approaches to water governance. Through a critical analysis of legal cases and policy documents, this work demonstrates how the right to water becomes imbricated with notions of insecurity in attempts to adapt to the impacts of climate change and it considers what this means for a future marked by climate uncertainty and transformation.VaidTheCOSAWBulletinwas the firstpublicationof its kindin north Americaand in South Asia.Over its 13years, this grassroots feminist publication became arecognized entityin academic and activist circlesalike.From modest beginnings, it grew in size, scope, and in the range and depth ofthe issues itcovered.Many of theBulletin'scontributors and supporters went onto become highly visibleandinfluentialindiverse fields.In this project I aim tounderstand how theBulletincarved out a space toarticulatefeminist concernsfrom a South Asian lens,what led to its formation, how the publication wassupported andsustained, what kinds of issues it addressed, and what mightbe its legacy.For scholars ofSouth Asia this project addresses anunderstudiedaspect of South Asian feminist history.Moregenerally,the project seeks to situate this diasporicpublication, and reflections around it,withincontemporary discussions ofracialization,sexuality,transnational feminism,displacement, and thepolitics of belonging.   Chair: Priya Jain  Please note that this is not a lecture, and thus, is not suited for class attendance.

The concept of pattern in the arts provides artists with tools that can limit creativity or suggest new avenues for exploration. They can offer a maker innovative options to explore with their accustomed materials and techniques; at times present a designer a means of control; advance a range of new ornaments and motifs to work with; and impart a new understanding of the relation between functional and decorative form. This exhibition will look at the impact of pattern in the arts using the University Art Galleries collections.
