Re-member (centre, celebrate and protect) Brewers of Traditional Afrikan Beer

In a country where black Afrikan women remain the most vulnerable to unemployment, we look to those who, though considered peripheral in the economy, have created self-employment as brewers of Traditional Afrikan Beer. We recognize the brutal violence waged by the colonial and apartheid governments to repress these women, while profiting from their indigenous knowledge to further fund our subjugation. Most importantly, we celebrate the resilience of brewers as custodians of this indigenous knowledge.

Through the lens of the oldest township in South Africa, Langa, and our current home, Kayamadi, this project intends to confront the erasure and marginalization of homebrewers and our collective biocultural heritage. We have an exciting collection of activities including brewing and malting workshops facilitated by homebrewers, tours of Langa and Kayamandi, pottery workshops and more!
