18 GANGSTER MUSEUM
The 18 Gangster Museum concept was first launched as a pop-up museum that formed part of the ‘Together Against Crime Festival’ that took place at Cape Town Artscape Theatre from 28 September to 1 October 2016. Housed in a shipping container, the museum had two sections – a replica of a prison cell in Cape Town’s notorious Pollsmoor prison, and the other an exhibition and information on how the youth can avoid a path that would lead them to end up in a cell. During the exhibition, the cell was occupied by real former gang members with whom visitors could interact and talk to. The museum’s Wandisile Nqeketho and his partners are currently in the process of creating a permanent museum that will be located on Khayelitsha’s famous Lookout Hill.
