CAPE x NL is a temporary intervention at the Camissa Museum, located within the historic Castle of Good Hope in South Africa. This collaborative project explores the legacy of Dutch slavery in the Cape through archival materials, historical narratives, and artworks.
CAPE x NL is a temporary intervention within the Camissa Museum, situated in the Castle of Good Hope, South Africa's oldest colonial building with a history marked by displacement, enslavement, and oppression. The project, a 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. Through a presentation of unique archival material, historical narratives, and artworks by Adrian van Wyk, Bradley van Sitters, Farren van Wyk, Carine Zaayman, and Neo Muyanga, the exhibition aims to amplify both the 'shouts' of those who were captured, punished, and brutalized, and the 'whispers' of untold stories seeking liberation. This layered intervention serves as an offering to foster dialogues that deepen collective knowledge about the impact of Dutch presence in the Cape.
Entry to the exhibition at the Camissa Museum in the Castle of Good Hope is FREE. The museum is open Monday to Sunday, from 9 AM to 5 PM.
