Project
Landscaping the Cape: “improvement”, the politics of visibility & the heritage e/affects of socio-ecological commoning, 1872 – 1948
This project builds on scholarship about landscape and memory in Cape Town by looking at how “nature” historically structured the material making of the cityscape, and the racially-heterogenous socio-natural commons that emerged in the city during the 20th century.
