Mapungubwe Collection | 2019
‘Positioned at the south of the continent where the Limpopo River and Shashe River’s confluence bordered by the countries of South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe-a stark reminder of a colonial legacy superimposed upon an ancient southern African civilization – the gold of Mapungubwe was unearthed in 1933 on the summit of Mapungubwe hill.
Dr. Sian Tiley-Nel’s long-term scholarly and curatorial research provides a vivid picture of this power exploring as it does the indigenous craftsmanship and techniques employed by the artisans of Mapungubwe.’

The Capture Site virtual tour | 2020
COVID-19 sent the museum industry into collapse. With visitors not being able to visit museums and buy tickets, revenue for these types of institutions dried up.
One way to keep up visitor engagement is through virtual tours, allowing people to see an exhibition through a 360° panoramic experience and hopefully encourage them enough to make a donation or pre-buy tickets.
Parts & Labour worked with the Nelson Mandela Capture Site to produce a virtual tour of their exhibition.

The Gold of Africa Collection | 2019
‘African Gold! The ring of this echoes across the continent with stories, characters and myths, which defines the mystique of this magical and precious metal. Legends of King Solomon’s mines, the Queen of Sheba, Prester John, Mansa Musa, and the civilizations of Great Zimbabwe and Mapungubwe find resonance with these narratives merging fact with fiction. Carried through the Sahara, down the Nile via the Mediterranean sea and across the vast East Coast Indian Ocean trade network, African gold became the currency of kings and the symbol of power and wealth the world over.’
Parts&Labour worked with the Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria to develop and install an exhibition from the Gold of Africa Collection
