ENGRAVED LANDSCAPE BIESJE POORT: MANY VOICES
Book Launch 

and 

Handover to the National Heritage Council funders

at the Duggan-Cronin Gallery, Mc Gregor Museum Kimberley on 16 May 2014

http://www.biesjepoortbook.co.za/

A very successful book launch and handover to the NHC funders was hosted by McGregor Museum, Kimberley. The attendance of the Kalahari Participants attendance was facilitated by ARROWSA who wrote the funding proposal for the original research and the book publication and co-ordinated the project. Many of the research team were present including the five Kalahari participants and it was wonderful to catch up with everyone once more. Unfortunately not the entire book team could be present and they were missed, particularly the representatives without whom the physical publishing of the book would not have been possible, such as Liana Muller-Jansen, Carine Muller, Petrus Jansen, Lizet Verwoerd, Pedro  Dausab, Schalk Le Roux and Nico Botes.

Prof Emeritus, University of Pretoria, editor, author and co-funder sits in the Protea Hotel Kimberley (who co-sponsored the Kalahari team's accommodation) prior to going to the launch at the McGregor Museum. Prof Fisher's support of the project was immense as not only was he an author, editor and translator but he provided transport for various stages of the book's research and publication phases and he was a major drive in both the editing and printing phases of the book.
