#49 SISTAAZ OF THE CASTLE

Join us for a screening of the film 'Sistaaz of the Castle', hosted by Duran Lantink and Jan Hoek.

EN

For over a decade, the Cape-Town based collective SistaazHood have been collaborating with designer Duran Lantink and artist Jan Hoek. The collaboration weaves a tribute to the Sistaaz’ remarkable sense of style, seeking to unbind the stigmatised chains of labels—trans, sex worker, homeless—and let their true essence shine free. The film Sistaaz of the Castle zooms in on life on the edge of the Castle of Good Hope, a symbolic location as most of the Sistaaz live in the streets around it.

Join us on December 5, to watch the film about their in-house, self-organised, self-designed fashion spectacle. This evening will be hosted by Duran Lantink and Jan Hoek, with a performance by Kaiden Ford, an introduction by Chandler Smith (HXSSY) and a closing conversation between Jan, Duran and Nina666.

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
