WHAT IS SERMON ON THE TRAIN

How public are public lectures? Although periodically universities make the effort to host lectures that people who are not registered learners at these institutions can attend free of charge, one still feels that these so-called public lectures are not public enough. In this instance the “public” that accompanies “lecture” is taken to mean that for a short while, the institution will suspend its stranglehold over information, ideas and knowledge. Sermon on the Train seeks to undermine this concept of “public lecture” and makes the experience accessible to a wider audience by encouraging a well known academic to have a public lecture in public. Furthermore the work starts to chip away at the hierarchy that separates students from lectures by encouraging lecturer-student collaborations. Though one can argue that the idea of having a public lecture in public is an imposition on that public this nonetheless parallels other performative acts such as public preaching, a long standing practice on trains in South Africa. This then brings into question who has access to knowledge, the origins of that knowledge and what purpose that knowledge serves.
