The chapter of Looking2Learn and YAH Art & Design Studio in Ladismith has come to a beautiful end.

After an incredible journey filled with creativity, learning, conversations, exhibitions, workshops, and community, the studio has now closed permanently in Ladismith.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who supported the space and became part of its story. Thank you for every visit, every kind word, every collaboration, and every moment shared.

This is the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

Please stay tuned for information regarding Elmarié’s Alterations, which will be shared soon.

More reflections and memories from the past two years will follow in the coming weeks.

With gratitude,
Yve ❤

Following Africa Day reflections this week, I found myself revisiting this video recorded for last year’s Kannaland KonneKt Festival October 2025 in collaboration with Heal the Hood.

Although we never got the opportunity to screen it during the festival, it feels important to share it now as part of ongoing conversations around language, identity and belonging.

Een van die gesprekke wat ons ondersoek het, was taal, identiteit en waar ons voel ons hoort. Veral rondom Kaaps, en die belangrikheid daarvan om die verskillende maniere waarop Afrikaans gepraat word, te erken en te vier.

Professor Quentin Williams, linguist and researcher, speaks here about the Kaaps Dictionary project developed together with Emile Jansen and others.

Ons was baie gelukkig toe Heal the Hood verlede jaar saam met verskillende skole gewerk het. Die manier waarop hulle taal, Kaaps en storievertelling benader het, het ruimte geskep vir kinders om hulself natuurlik uit te druk, kreatief te wees en met trots te praat oor waar hulle vandaan kom.

Taal dra herinnering, geskiedenis, weerstand, kreatiwiteit en identiteit. Om mense se taal te erken, is ook om hul stories en herkoms te erken.

Language carries memory, history, resistance, creativity and identity. Honouring the way people speak is also part of honouring where they come from.

If you would like to connect with Professor Quentin Williams around the Kaaps Dictionary project, including access for schools or libraries, please feel free to reach direct to him at his team at UWC.
