To mark Heritage Day, two UCT-affiliated co-curators talk about a unique exhibition of South African black women artists, many of whom never exhibited.

UCT’s rich heritage of artworks now includes filmed live art performances, part of a drive to create a more representative and contemporary collection.

UCT’s WOAC presented ‘The Fire This Time’, a series of live art interventions attending to the complex (hi)stories that texture the Sarah Baartman precinct.

June Bam-Hutchison speaks about the role of the ausi, the Khoi and San matriarchal knowledge bearer, and the importance of the Cape’s ‘herstoriographies’.

Hendrik Hofmeyr’s opera “Sara Baartman” presents an interpretation of an elusive reality and contested history, presenting interesting musical and casting challenges.
