Enlovini

The project engages and highlights the impact of inequality and safety in relation to land occupation in South Africa, focusing on the silenced voices.  If you visit any black area in South Africa – especially in the city – you will find a housing section called ENDLOVINI. The Nguni term has a double meaning. The first literal translation is “at the elephant/place of the elephant”. The second meaning is more nuanced and slightly loaded: “the place at which we charged in and settled”. The term invokes, at least for mother-tongue speakers, a powerful image of resistance. In collaboration with Onsite Collective, we will question and exercise the notion of collective remembering and explore how that can patiently help one to have a clear picture of a certain events that happened and transpired, looking at Endlovini as a space of urgency and as a form of archive.
