CAPE x NL is a temporary intervention at the Camissa Museum, located within the Castle of Good Hope in South Africa. This collaborative project explores the legacy of Dutch slavery at the Cape through archival material, historical narratives, and artworks, aiming to enhance dialogues about the impact of Dutch presence.
The exhibition CAPE x NL: Whispers and Shouts is a temporary intervention situated in the Camissa Museum, housed within the Castle of Good Hope. This historic building, constructed by the Dutch East India Company, carries a significant and painful history of displacement, enslavement, and oppression. The project, a transnational collaboration between The Black Archives, Nancy Jouwe, and Elise Fernandez (on behalf of the Camissa Museum), delves into the enduring legacy of Dutch slavery in the Cape region. Through a presentation of unique archival materials, historical narratives, and artworks by Adrian van Wyk & Charles Palm, Bradley van Sitters, Farren van Wyk, Carine Zaayman, and Neo Muyanga, the exhibition seeks to amplify voices that have been suppressed. It listens to the shouts of the captured and punished, and the whispers of untold stories yearning for release. This layering within the Camissa Museum serves as an offering to foster deeper dialogues and enhance collective understanding of the profound impact of Dutch presence in the Cape.
Entry to the exhibition is FREE. A public program will be offered during the opening weeks, including the book launch of 'Gids Slavernijverleden van De Kaap. Slavery Heritage Guide of The Cape' by Nancy Jouwe and Carine Zaayman. Sign up for the public program via the provided form. More information about a dynamic public program on December 14th will follow soon.
