Stories of Home

Drawing upon interviews and photographs collected by the museum, this exhibition tells about the lives of the people of Lwandle and how they have made their homes here. It shows the different meanings that members of the Lwandle community attach to the concept of home. There are stories that tell about how Lwandle is not considered a home by some but merely a place of work. For others it is a permanent home where they want to be buried. Others still consider Lwandle as one of two (or maybe even three) homes. The exhibition tells the stories of the people who live in Lwandle today, their experiences in the hostels and their many different homes, in the Eastern Cape and in Lwandle.
