  • History re-imagined: The Politics of Space and Identity Trailer
    The year 2020 marked 200 years since the 1820 Settlers arrived in South Africa, claiming land on the banks of the Fish River all the way to the shores of Algoa Bay now known as Mandela Bay in the Eastern Cape.
    The settler’s history and footprint is evident in architecture, public art and documented history. The majority and the indigenous people of the area exist with minimum or no documentation of their lives through arts, and historic documentations. History as it stands had never been told through the voice of the indigenous people. It has been narrated from outside these communities, documenting assumptions and observations from the lens of a foreign perspective, as well as expressing opinions feeding into political agendas of the times the documentation took place as well as justification of land dispossessions. History re-imagined is an initiative and platform where black artists through the facilitation of historians and indigenous knowledge institutions will are challenged to respond to history and representation of identity in space of the region pre and post colonial (arrival of Settlers). This initiative seeks to empower indigenous narration by black Eastern Cape artists. Re-imagining the history, culture, arts and indigenous knowledge, and identity of black people of the Eastern Cape will contribute to create visible artefacts in the physical landscape of the region. We had a series of Workshops/Seminars by experts in History and indigenous knowledge systems, to empower selected artists with knowledge on the history and culture of Amaxhosa of the Eatern Cape. This project is proudly brought to you by aBantu Development Agency. Funded by the Department of Sport Recreation Arts and Culture South Africa under Mzantsi Golden Economy and Supported by The Mandela Bay Development Agency.
