  • Transforming the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum Helene Vollgraaff 1
    Transforming the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum Helene Vollgraaff 1 Introduction The Bo-Kaap Museum, managed by Iziko Museums of Cape Town 2, was established in 1978 as a house museum showing the lifestyle of a typical “Cape Malay” family of the 19 th century. The well-known University of Cape Town Orientalist, Dr. I.D. du Plessis, was the driving force behind the establishment of the museum. From the start, the Bo-Kaap Museum was heavily criticized for its Orientalist approach. In true I.D. du Plessis style, Cape Muslims were depicted as a separate cultural group with an exotic and charming lifestyle that seperated them from the rest of local society. The exhibitions and programmes of the museum tended to focus on Islam as an all-consuming identity and emphasized customs that distinguished Cape Muslims from other religious and cultural groups in Cape Town. The result was a skewed representation that did not do justice to the diversity within the Cape Muslim community and was silent about aspects of integration between the Muslim and broader Cape Town communities. 3 In 2003, Iziko Museums launched a project to redevelop the Bo-Kaap Museum as a social history museum with Islam at the Cape and the history of the Bo-Kaap as its main themes. This approach allowed the museum to challenge its own Orientalist roots and to introduce exhibitions dealing with contemporary issues. As an interim measure, Iziko developed a series of small temporary exhibitions and public programmes that together signaled Iziko Museum’s intent to change the content and style of the museum.

  • An Exhibition of South African Ceramics at Iziko Museums Article by Esther Esymol
    Reflections on Fired – An Exhibition of South African Ceramics at Iziko Museums Article by Esther Esymol Abstract An exhibition dedicated to the history and development of South African ceramics, Fired, was on show at the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa, from 25th February 2012 until its temporary closure on 28th January 2015. Fired is due to reopen early 2016. The exhibition was created from the rich array of ceramics held in the permanent collections of Iziko Museums of South Africa. Iziko was formed in 1998 when various Cape Town based museums, having formerly functioned separately, were amalgamated into one organizational structure. Fired was created to celebrate the artistry of South African ceramists, showcasing works in clay created for domestic, ceremonial or decorative purposes, dating from the archaeological past to the present. This article reflects on the curatorial and design approaches to Fired, and the various themes which informed the exhibition. Reference is also made to the formation of the Iziko ceramics collections, and the ways in which Fired as an exhibition departed from ceramics displays previously presented in the museums that made up the Iziko group. Key words ceramics, studio pottery, production pottery, Community Economic Development (CED) potteries, museums Introduction Fired – an Exhibition of South African Ceramics celebrated South Africa’s rich and diverse legacy of ceramic making. The exhibition showcased a selection of about two hundred ceramic works, including some of the earliest indigenous pottery made in South Africa, going back some two thousand years, through to work produced by contemporary South African ceramists. The works were drawn mainly from the Social History Collections department of Iziko Museums of South Africa.1 Design and curatorial approaches Fired was exhibited within an evocative space in the Castle, with arched ceilings and columns and presented in two large elongated chambers (Fig.1).

  • Ethnological Collections in Selected South African Museums - Past Issues and Current Challenges
    Museum & Society, 18 (4) 441 Ethnological Collections in Selected South African Museums - Past Issues and Current Challenges Mathodi Motsamayi Abstract The paper examines the state of ethnological collections in two post-apartheid South African museums and is based on, inter alia, an appraisal of anthropological discourses that informed the collections. It focuses on the cataloguing of indigenous objects, which is generally inadequate and, in many cases, absent. This not only hampers the proper functioning of museums, but threatens the preservation of ancient, culturally significant items. In this context, a discussion of the artefacts’ background would be of importance to establish their origins, the motives for their presence in collections, and their current state. Presently, however, such information is difficult to obtain, since persons who have knowledge regarding the makers, donors and collectors of artefacts are no longer part of the museums’ establishment. Besides, many ethnological collections result from fieldwork trips by anthropologists and persons with an interest in ethnology but, sadly, many of their contributions lack identification and other pertinent information. Anthropologists, museum workers, and donors who have contributed to the presence – and, hence, survival – of artefacts in social history and cultural history museums have failed to provide them with tangible records. With only patchy information available, it is evident that present curators face a huge challenge in cataloguing such materials so that they can be better preserved and further researched. Using postcolonial theory to provide a critical analysis of the current situation, based on available archival records and unstructured interviews with museum officials and researchers, I contend that the lacklustre manner of assessing items of indigenous material culture in museums of ethnography, and the accompanying decontextualization, are irreconcilable with their original socio-cultural and environmental significance, their meanings and technological trends.

  • Mayor Mashaba Kicks Off a Re Sebetseng Partnership with Global Citizen
    A City of Johannesburg Press Statement by the Executive Mayor, Cllr Herman Mashaba Mayor Mashaba kicks off A Re Sebetseng partnership with Global Citizen Date: 11 September 2018 Release: immediate Today, the Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Cllr Herman Mashaba, is pleased to officially launch the City of Johannesburg’s partnership with Global Citizen for A Re Sebetseng clean-up campaigns. The partnership was announced last month, which bolsters efforts by the City to improve the environment, cut plastic use, and embrace a healthy lifestyle. With Global Citizen’s mission to build the largest movement of people taking action to end extreme poverty by 2030, it is only fitting that we combine our efforts towards this objective. Good progress has been made in this regard. So far, over 300 000 tonnes of waste has been collected since the launch in 2017. A Re Sebetseng (meaning “let’s work”in Sesotho) is a monthly call to action that encourages City employees and residents to come out in their numbers through volunteerism, and work together to turn Johannesburg into a City where residents can live, work and play in a healthy environment. This campaign will include educating Global Citizens about reducing plastic usage and encourage recycling waste. This campaign will kick off on Saturday 15th of September 2018, it coincides with World Clean Up Day. With the support of Mayor Mashaba, councillors, City departments and regional offices, Johannesburg residents are encouraged to unite with the rest of the world for one goal – a cleaner world. The City will provide bags and gloves to all participants which can be collected at City walk-in centres, depots, clinics and libraries.
