		In the exhibition design, each family has their own enclosed space, leading off a central corridor, like the rooms in a house, and indeed, the idea is that one is invited into the family's living room.
		Every family space is unique, with a different South African photographer and researcher narrating, a video of the family, a different design artist to put together the 'living room', an artist commissioned to create an artwork capturing the family, and artefacts belonging to the family.
		This 'realness' is achieved through the careful effort taken to let the families tell their own stories, to have their voices present, in quotes, in artefacts, in the videos; and also the deployment of South African artists to interpret the families and their lives.

		Griqua Town is located in Griqualand West, near Kimberley, the pivot point around which the African diamond mining industry revolves, and is now within the Republic of South Africa.
		Where they displaced the Griquas in the region now known as the Orange Free State and the Transvaal, the British were soon pursuing the same riches as these pioneering whites of Dutch heritage — The fortune in gold, under the ground in the region known as the Witwatersrand.

		In 1861/2, most of the Griquas gathered at Philippolis were forced to sell out to the evolving Afrikaner nation in the Orange Free State (Griqualand West) after a long and bloody conflict during which the British Governors of the Cape, who had their own agenda to appease the Boers, deserted them.
		This was further aggravated by Griquas selling their land cheaply to European settlers - the Griquas had literally given away valuable land holdings (farms and plots in Kokstad) in exchange for food, or worse, a bottle of brandy.

		There, he discovers that he is distantly related to Andries Abraham Stockhausen La Fleur, who led the Griqua tribe into the desert in the 19th century.

		There is no doubt that there is to be found among the nations of Africa, apart from Christianity and Mohammedanism, a religion, a belief in a higher, living, and personal principle, implying on man's part the duty of recognizing it by means of some kind of worship.
		Individuals, families, and even communities may doubtless be found in Africa, as elsewhere, utterly, or almost, devoid of all notion of religion and morality.
		We find, in fact, individuals and families, in the midst of animist populations, who materialize the expression of their worship by making images, into which they summon the souls of their dead; and similarly, in the midst of fetishist populations, a number of individuals and families who have no fetishes.
