Reflections on the Conference, Hands on District Six: Landscapes of Postcolonial Memorialisation provides a comprehensive overview of the key issues raised during presentations and discussions at the District Six Museum’s 2005 Conference. It presents the reader with a visual and textual journey through the four-day Conference, ending with a section which points to a following publication which will reflect different responses to the range of challenges surfaced. A vital strength of the Conference was that it invited participation from people involved in a diverse range of fields, locally, nationally, and internationally. Various platforms were created from which themes relating to memory, heritage, community and site, amongst other things, were explored from theoretical as well as from practice-based perspectives. The notion of site as both a geographical location and a farming concept emerged strongly throughout, and further focus will be given to this.
