We were commissioned to design a permanent exhibition space within the Iziko South African Museum in Cape Town, dedicated to the display of rock art and the rich cultural life of the San people.

The exhibition immerses visitors in the world of the San — their intricate beliefs about the spirit world, the practice of rain-making, and the sacred art of healing. Every detail was considered with care, from the atmospheric lighting to the very fixings of the glass display cases, each element working together to create an engaging, cohesive narrative that brings the story of the San people to life.
