Join us at Het Zuid-Afrikahuis for a reading of Where the Clouds Gather by Julia-Beth Harris, with live accompaniment by Wytze Minne de Swart.
This collection gives voice to the encounter between Dutch merchant ships and Indigenous people on South African shores in 1652. Writing from her position as a South African in the Netherlands, Harris traces how this moment continues to shape ways of meeting, moving, and relating.
We invite you to experience Dutch and South African histories come together through migration, language, and music.
