#49 SISTAAZ OF THE CASTLE

Join us for a screening of the documentary '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 documentary 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 documentary 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.

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
