The Story Might Not Be Complete

In trying to unpack the historical narratives of the ties between South Africa and the Netherlands, entrenched structural challenges are still evident, today. In this evening conversation, we will explore the ways in which women of colour, living and working in different locations, use the archive to pursue positionalities and narratives erased from the great Dutch historical canon.

With the contribution and inclusion of voices such as:
Jennifer Tosch, Founder of Black Heritage Tours
– Toni Stuart, writer & poet
Tazneem Wentzel, artist and member of Burning Museum Collective

This event is moderated by Palesa Motsumi, Sematsatsa Library.

The discussion is again an attempt to make sense of the ongoing political sensibilities evident in South Africa-born movements such as #RhodesMustFall, #FeesMustFall and in much of the works of other groups of women artists, some of whom have been quite outspoken about black people’s experiences as well as their own.
