 Houses in Bo Kaap // "Bo-Kaap and its residents have traditionally been gazed at through a lens of difference. Under apartheid between 1948 and 1994, those living in the area were characterized by the National Party state as exotic. They were classified as 'Malays,' and their cuisine and dress were treated as objects of marvel, including in spaces such as this museum..." |  Houses in Bo Kaap // "To help challenge these perceptions, we must view the residents of Bo-Kaap not in terms of a static community bounded by tradition, but as a diverse and constantly evolving group of people. Whilst photographs can sometimes encourage a gaze of 'otherness', we encourage you to consider the people in these images as individuals who live and work in the cosmopolitan space that is modern day Cape Town." |  Simply Yours // coffee shop |  Lion's Head |  Lion's Head |  Lion's Head // Table Mountain |
