In Cape Town’s cultural and urban history, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) holds a unique place. Without first retracing the development of the city’s waterfront, the industrial and political significance of the grain silo it occupies, and the larger dynamics of post-apartheid South Africa’s quest for cultural representation on a continental scale, it is impossible to comprehend its emergence [1]. This background demonstrates how one of Africa’s most significant cultural initiatives was launched from a piece of abandoned industrial infrastructure.
