Wat Was Hie? is a powerful site-specific film that retraces South Africa’s complex histories of colonialism, indigenous erasure, and resistance. Adapted from a multidisciplinary theatre piece, it brings to life significant historical sites through movement and restorative memory.
After the screening, join the panel discussion exploring the making of Wat Was Hie? and its themes of memory, site-specificity, and historical accountability. Discover how art can help heal, reclaim, and deepen our understanding of South Africa’s layered pasts.
