The now well-established Sculpture on the Cliffs project<br />
of Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> has not only brought something<br />
culturally-different to the town over more than ten years,<br />
but has generated many conversations – and debates!<br />
Some of the artists who have contributed to this year’s<br />
exhibition will join Melvyn to talk about the theme and<br />
their interpretation, as well as how they see the role of<br />
their public sculpture in social well-being.<br />
Melvyn Minnaar will be in conversation with Wilma,<br />
Jacques, Conrad, Jaco and Sophia.<br />
Bina Genovese will open Sculpture on the Cliffs <strong>2023</strong><br />
directly after this discussion at Gearing’s Point.<br />
Sat 10 14:00 – 15:00<br />
I’ve Seen That Face Before<br />
Kathryn Smith<br />
From early sketches made to apprehend suspects in<br />
criminal cases or identify the unknown deceased, art has<br />
had a significant, but frequently misunderstood, role<br />
to play in forensic identification, and technology has<br />
expanded the definition of the lab or studio in which<br />
such work is done.<br />
In this illustrated talk, artist,<br />
curator and forensic facial<br />
imaging expert Dr Kathryn<br />
Smith introduces the<br />
history of Forensic Art, and<br />
demonstrates the impact<br />
that facial reconstructions<br />
can have on forensic<br />
identification and archaeological research, from<br />
contributing to the investigative process, to restoring<br />
a sense of personhood to the unknown or unidentified.<br />
