Survé Philanthropies has announced a new partnership with the Cape Heritage Museum, a community-led institution located at the historic Castle of Good Hope.

Through the partnership, Survé Philanthropies will support the expansion of the museum’s collection, including portraits, artefacts, and artworks.

The collaboration also strengthens the museum’s commitment to presenting inclusive and uncensored historical narratives.

Founder and Curator of the Cape Heritage Museum, Igshaan Higgins, said: “What the Museum stands for is unapologetic freedom of speech under Section 16 of the Constitution, and the right to exhibit uncensored histories of Cape communities, including Muslims, Jews, and Christians, enslaved peoples, and indigenous Khoisan and Xhosa communities. It is a commitment that no exhibition will be silenced, only debated.”
