Hey tjomies. Something that I’ve been casually interested in lately has been info on just how fucked the old regime was and just how well they lied to the complicit/compliant during the 80s and 90s. Being born in ‘94, I’m stuck between my parents glazing the “good old days” to varying degrees and school just not talking about it, I’ve realised I know very little about how the Apartheid apparatus worked, and I hear from time to time that it was just as corrupt and “captured” as anything that’s happened since.

Looking for recommendations on books, articles, papers, anything to assist with my continued education!

Hi everyone

I’m trying to find out more about Helen Martins, the artist and owner of the Owl House in Nieu Bethesda. I went there as a young girl with my family and remember a very dark and strange energy in and around the house. I’d love to go back and revisit as an adult.

Does anyone have more info about the house, the art and Helen herself? I know she painted with glass, Koos Malgas helped with her sculptures and that she (apparently) didn’t have a good relationship with her dad.

So, basically, what was your experience and do you have any info about the Owl House in general?
