Tracing her own family history has led local fisher woman Traci Kwaai to create an outdoor exhibition in remembrance of the many fisher families erased or forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conversation with the People\u2019s Post, Kwaai who describes herself as a sixth generation fisher child from the indigenous Kalk Bay community, says her great-great parents could be traced back to Kalk Bay as far back as the 1800s.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\u201cMy great-great grandparents were already living in Kalk Bay during the 1800s,\u201d she said. \u201cIn a marriage certificate dated 1846 it indicated that they were living in Kalk Bay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kwaai shares how she was raised by one of her family\u2019s oldest great-aunts who died at the age of 101.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was raised by one of the oldest members of our family, her sister is still alive and turning 105 this year. She ran Kalk Bay harbour cafe, which is now known as Kalkies,\u201d she shares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey were forcibly removed from Kalk Bay so this exhibition is not only about telling their story but the stories of the many communities who were forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new outdoor exhibition is at Olympia Cafe in Kalk Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The display showcases images of families dating as far back as the 1920s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the 1930s, there used to be a swim club, there were rugby clubs, dart clubs and a lot of sport played.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is part of a larger project to preserve Kalk Bay\u2019s history, she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
The idea is to eventually have these photos on tiles everywhere in Kalk Bay and to scan a QR code, which will tell their stories<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The images displayed include the Fortune, Ferreira, Sassman and Gomez families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe project is around heritage and archiving our history,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKalk Bay is very gentrified and we are slowly being erased. This is part of a larger project, the first phase of the preservations of our stories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kwaai, who describes herself as a storyteller, activist, teacher and entrepreneur, was taught the indigenous practices of foraging and food preservation from a young age by her parents, grandparents and older women in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want people to know we are still here, 300 years later,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want people, who had families living in Kalk Bay, to be able to come and view the exhibition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
