Workshops to prepare the Young Curators took the form of a series of Saturday Masterclasses with overall project facilitation by artist Scott E Williams.
- Masi Feni, Siya Lengisi & Azikiwe
- Masi Feni & the young curators
Participants learned how to use photography, collage and design to produce wheatpaste artworks to illustrate the theme of Images of Displacement. Works were produced in collaboration with ex- residents of District Six and others who have experienced forced relocation or displacement. The artworks of the Giemba Collective were produced as part of a District Six Museum ‘Memory Design Lab’ approach with ex-residents and storytellers for inter-generational conversation.
