Description/ Clarification / Detail Comment for Facilitators

1. Objective

To provide high-level facilitation that bridges the gap between historical disenfranchisement (the

Slave Lodge site) and contemporary Transgender/Gender-Diverse visibility. The goal is to move

beyond "awareness" toward transformative education and community healing.

2. Key Responsibilities

Pre-Event Content Development:

• Consult with Iziko curators to understand the specific sensitivities of the Slave Lodge as a site of memory.

• Develop a "Facilitation Guide" that outlines key terminology, safe-space protocols, and discussion

prompts related to the curated films.

Film Post-Screening "Talk-Backs":

• Lead two (2) 45-minute moderated discussions following the film screenings.

• Expertly manage audience Q&A, ensuring a safe environment for trans attendees while providing

educational clarity for the general public.

• Expertly manage short meditation sessions during sessions.

Thematic Interlinking:

• Explicitly link the theme of agency, identity and visibility to queer identities, helping participants see

transgender history as a part of the broader South African social fabric.

Resource Navigation:

• Be prepared to provide "next-step" resources (NGO contacts, legal rights info, mental health support) to

attendees who may require further support

Competency,Requirement

• Lived Experience/Advocacy, Strong preference for facilitators with lived experience within the

Trans/Non-binary community or a proven track record of Trans-specific advocacy.

• Historical Literacy, “Ability to speak to the intersection of race, colonialism, and gender (Intersectional

lens)."

• Conflict Resolution, Proven ability to de-escalate sensitive or high-emotion conversations in a public

forum.

Iziko Museums of South Africa of 18

• Bilingualism, Ability to facilitate in English and either Afrikaans or isiXhosa is highly advantageous to

ensure community accessibility at the Cape.

Standard of Conduct

• Facilitators are expected to uphold the "Iziko Hearth" philosophy: creating an atmosphere of kinship,

warmth, and respect for ancestors—including queer ancestors whose stories were previously untold.
