CAPE X NL: whispers and shouts
CAPE X NL: whispers and shouts is a temporary intervention. We hear the shouts of those who were punished and brutalized in this place and listen to the whispers that convey untold stories of people whose voices have been unheard for too long. This is a transnational, collaborative project of The Black Archives, Nancy Jouwe and Elise Fernandez on behalf of the Camissa Museum, exploring the legacy of Dutch slavery in the Cape. The intervention presents unique archival material, historical narratives and artworks by Adrian van Wyk, Bradley van Sitters, Farren van Wyk, Carine Zaayman and Neo Muyanga.
This temporary layering within the Camissa museum is an offering. We hope to enhance dialogues that deepen our collective knowledge about the (impact of) Dutch presence in the Cape. Come and join the dialogue!
During the opening weeks, we will offer a public program, including the book launch of the bilingual publication Gids Slavernijverleden van De Kaap. Slavery Heritage Guide of The Cape by Nancy Jouwe and Carine Zaayman (LM Publishers, 2024).
