On Wednesday, May 13, at 6:30 p.m., Jane Taylor a South African playwright and critic, and a contributor to the Vera List Center’s book Considering Forgiveness, will give a lecture examining “sincerity,” drawing from her work with visual artist William Kentridge and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Jane Taylor, Wits School of the Arts, Skye Chair of Dramatic Art and Head of the Division of Dramatic Arts, has a PhD in English from Northwestern University. In 1996, she curated a series of cultural responses to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. These events, called Fault Lines, included an art exhibition; a piece of theatre; a series of readings; a conference; and a workshop for journalists covering the commission.

This talk will take place at Wollman Hall, Lang Building, 65 West 11th Street, 5th floor. Admission is $8, and free for all students as well as New School faculty, staff, and alumni with ID.
