Walking from the Groote Kerk to the Slawelosie and back to the Groote Kerk. Performed in Cape Town, South Africa.

Video of walking art piece performed in Cape Town, South Africa – a walk from the Groote Kerk to the Slawelosie and back to the Groote Kerk. The Groote Kerk, meaning “Great Church”, in Cape Town is a historic church with deep roots in the city’s colonial past and served as a central place of worship for the Dutch East India Company (VOC) settlers. The Slawelosie or Slave Lodge, located directly across from the Groote Kerk, housed enslaved people brought to the Cape Colony by the VOC. My family tree includes ancestors from both communities.
