Historical artifacts are not benign reminders of a neutral past. Rather, they evoke a time or place that can continue to hurt or heal in the present and future. In honour of Africa Day, for our first Talking Back to Objects, curator and healer Dr. Motsane Seabela will guide us to say our piece to an original bill of sale of a young enslaved man bought and sold at the Cape of Good Hope. This will be followed by an optional Afroflow healing dance session with Muzi Shili.
