Memories of indenture
Museums, memorials and interpretation centres increasingly address histories of exploitation and oppression as part of their efforts to commemorate past traumas through memory work. This article examines how the Aapravasi Ghat in Mauritius and the 1860 Heritage Centre in South Africa produce memories of indenture. Indentured labour was a particular form of contract labour that spread African, Chinese, European and Indian populations and others ac…
Curriculum Change in the Postcolonial Art History Classroom
Decolonised curricula in higher education continue to be a significant issue in the South African context following the student-led protests of 2015–2016. These protests revealed the urgent need for real transformation in the sector and the wide-ranging issues students encountered, including demands for decolonised curricula. In this article I focus on one postgraduate art history course and its curriculum to discuss how postcolonial and decoloni…
Digestible Memories in South Africa's Recent Past
Given the recent oppressive histories of apartheid and colonialism, the legacies of slavery in South Africa are often overlooked in thinking about aspects of post-apartheid democracy’s discursive formulation of race, nation, and reconciliation. This paper analyses how two examples in Cape Town – the permanent exhibition Representing Slavery at the Slave Lodge Museum and the Memorial to the Enslaved in Church Square – represent the historic event …

This is tied to a globally emerging interest in historic formations of slavery packaged in popular culture, and the current increa…

Gendering performance in At Her Feet
Nadia Davids' At Her Feet (2006) is a play that speaks of community. It challenges our sense of the virtual tense and a politically correct tense, and confronts us with what we fear will destroy us. For Davids this fear is explored in the veiled women's bodies that echo an experience often misheard or misunderstood. Her text recognises the complexity of gender and race, and their evocative merging in a climate that seeks to neutralise and negate …
