| From Diaspora to Diorama – The Old Slave Lodge
Slave-lodgings, lunatic asylum, police station, prison and brothel: these were some of the functions which the building at the entrance to the Company’s Gardens at the top of Adderley Street (the old Heerengracht), unashamedly fulfilled. The Lodge fused the dramatic themes of thralldom, perpetual servitude, sex and insanity into a fortress of misery which could provide South African novelists with the raw material of a hundred novels. This complex building was a forgotten crucible of colonialism and apartheid which helped perpetuate facets of colonial life which are still recognizable in present-day South Africa. From Diaspora to Diorama contains over 9,000 pages of interpretations, newly unearthed eyewitness accounts, newly commissioned aquarelles by John English and many new sketches and photographs by model builder, Peter Laponder; there are also appendices of 6,000 entries: slaves, political exiles, slave voyages to the Lodge; slave cargo lists, Lodge censuses, Slave Lodge deaths and Lodge manumissions, in short, this publication is the most extensive single work on any one building and one community in South Africa.
