Memory and documentation in exhibition-making: a case study of the Protea village exhibition, a history of paradise 1829 - 2002Baduza, Uthando Lubabalo January 2008 (has links)
Magister Artium - MA / This mini-thesis seeks to interrogate the interplay between memory and documentation in the process of exhibition-making by a looking at the preparation for and mounting of the exhibition, Museum. This will be achieved by looking at the institutional methodologies employed by the Museum in dealing with ex-residents of District Six, their memories and artefacts in the heritage practice of a Museum as a forum. This practice was put into effect as the District Six Museum engaged ex-residents of other locations of removal.

Rebuilding identity: the District Six Museum's involvement in the current redevelopment of the District Six site.Koseff, Lara Simone 05 June 2008 (has links)
This paper examines how and to what extent the District Six Museum
has contributed the current redevelopment of the District Six site.
Since its inception, the Museum has challenged accepted definitions
of heritage and has transcended common museological practices
through its initiative as an institution to go beyond nurturing the
memory of one of the most iconic sites of forced removal in South
Africa, but to also contribute to the site’s redevelopment. The
Museum grew out of an organisation that was dedicated to protecting
the empty wasteland that the District had become since it was
announced a ‘white area’ by the apartheid government and bulldozed.
The same group of people became passionate not only about
protecting the site, and conducting “memory work” surrounding it
but eventually contributing to a process of restitution and rebuilding
the homes and lives of those whose houses where destroyed and
communities were fragmented. This paper considers such an
initiative, which began in a pre-democratic environment where the
concept of heritage was ill-defined and cultural institutions often
served apartheid agendas. This consideration will involve an
examination of the way in which the District Six Museum developed;
the Museum’s role and how this role has evolved and the District Six
that has been re-imagined through the Museum and how this “idea”
is contributing to re-development.

Frameworks of representation: A design history of the District Six Museum in Cape TownHayes-Roberts, Hayley Elizabeth January 2020 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Since 1994, the District Six Museum, in constructing histories of forced removals from District Six,
Cape Town, commenced as a post-apartheid memory project which evolved into a memorial museum.
Design has been a central strategy claimed by the museum in its process of making memory work
visible to its attendant publics evolving into a South African cultural brand. Co-design within the
museum is aesthetically infused with sensitively curated exhibitions and a form of museumisation,
across two tangible sites of engagement, which imparts a unique visual language. The term design
became extraordinarily popular in contemporary Cape Town, where the city was - in 2014 -the World
Design Capital. Yet at the same time as design was being inscribed into the public imaginary, it was
simultaneously curiously undefined although influential in shifting representational aesthetics in the
city. This research seeks to ask questions about this proliferation of interest in design and to examine
this through a close reading of the work of the District Six Museum situated near District Six. In
particular, micro and macro design elements are explored as socio-cultural practice in re-imagining
community in the city that grew out of resistance and cultural networks. Various design strategies or
frameworks of representation sought to stabilize and clarify individual and collective pasts enabling
and supporting ex-residents to reinterpret space after loss, displacement and separation and re-enter
their histories and the city. Post-apartheid museum design modes and methodologies applied by the
District Six Museum as museumisation disrupts conventional historiographies in the fields of art,
architectural and exhibition design, where the focus is placed on temporal chronologies, in a biographic
mode profiling examples of works and designers/artists. Instead, the research contextualises the work
of design as making in a more open sense, of exploring the very constructedness of the museum as a
space of method, selection, process and representation thereby asking questions about this reified term
design as method and practice. The designing ways of the District Six Museum contribute to
understanding idioms mediated through design frameworks allowing for a departure from the limited
ways design history has been written. Through an unlayering of projects, practices and an examination
of archival case studies, exhibition curation, the adaptive reuse of buildings and through institutional
rebranding my argument is that the particularities of the claims to design work at the District Six
Museum provide a rich case for relating to other contemporaneous processes of making apartheid’s
spatial practices visible as projects such as this claim community. Therefore seeking to demystify how
this community museum ‘making’ has been fashioned through an investment in various design
disciplines, forms and practices revealing the inherent complexity in doing so.

Om museers praktik och samhällsfunktion : en fallstudie av District Six Museum i Kapstaden / On Museums´Practice and Function in Society : a case study of the District Six Museum in Cape TownLewenhaupt, Ylva, Lindberg, Josefin January 2003 (has links)
<p>This thesis is largely about museums and their role and development in and for society. With a field/case study of the District Six Museum in Cape Town, we try to encapsulate a modern function for museums within a context of 1) the current worldwide discussion on museums and their future, and 2) the development of a new democratic nation in South Africa, and museums possible role in that process. Through analysis of interviews made with concerned people within and outside the District Six museum weintend to get a picture of the views on this particular museum and its role and function, for its community and society at large, plus for other museums, as a possible role model. We find that this museum might be close to a type of museum that has been asked for by museologists and others in recent times.</p> / <p>Den här D-uppsatsen behandlar museer och deras roll i den samhälleliga utvecklingen. Genom en fältstudie av District Six Museum i Kapstaden har vi försökt fånga och diskutera hur ett museum av idag kan fungera. Detta har skett utifrån två kontexter; dels den pågående och världsomspännande debatten om museer och deras framtid, dels utvecklingen av en ny demokratisk nation i landet Sydafrika och vilken roll museer har i den processen. Genom analys av intervjuer vi har gjort med aktiva inom och utanför District Six Museum försöker vi få en bild av just detta museums roll och funktion; för sina egna medborgare och samhället runt omkring. Vi diskuterar vidare hur District Six fungerar som förebild för andra museer och hur det faktiskt uppfyller många av de kriterier och önskemål som museologer idag sätter upp för hur ett samtida och aktivt museum bör arbeta.</p>
