The Burning Museum(BM) is a collaborative interdisciplinary collective rooted in Cape Town.
Their latest exhibition To Let navigates the complex interplay between history, identity, space, and structures. Set largely in District Six, Salt River and Woodstock, it gives a voice to communities and individuals who have been scarred or silenced by a historical trajectory of violence and exclusions.
As the artists claim: “We are interested in the seen and unseen, the stories that linger as ghosts on gentrified street corners; in opening up and re-imagining space as potential avenues into the layers of history that are buried within, under, and between .”
WHEN: until 29 September
WHERE: the streets of District Six, Salt River and Woodstock and the Centre for African Studies Gallery, Oppenheimer Institute Building, University of Cape Town, Ronderbosch
