The 3rd Baboon Biennale contemporary art exhibition in Smitswinkel this weekend was a big success! Art was sold, cold ocean dips were had, and a few nature lovers joined me on a walk to explore the intertidal zone and discuss what baboons eat. Afterwards a wonderful feast with the theme of Baboon Buffet was held, inspired by what primates forage for - but with a human twist - smoked mussels, boiled eggs, roasted veggies, kudu biltong, kelp chilli sauce, nuts, seeds and salads, plus Franz’s incredible fresh roosterkoek.

Massive thanks to creative director, Lee Armstrong The Armstrong Family for her incredible arrangement of the buffet, and to Karin Slater Karin Slater for arranging the day and use of her wonderful home as a venue.

Coastal foraging experiences in Cape Town’s Southern Peninsula:

Spend the day exploring the rocky shores and rock pools of the False Bay coast. Learn how to safely harvest edible seaweeds, molluscs and indefinite wild plants.

Workshops include a relaxed, guided coastal walk and a session learning how to prepare what you gathered. Followed by a nourishing wild food-inspired meal with natural infusions.

Or for those who feel more at home in the water, join us for a kelp forest adventure. Whether you are an experienced diver or simply curious to see what’s beneath the surface, it’s a chance to slow down, breathe deeply and feel your connection to the ocean and its creatures.

Seaweed as an Everyday Food

Across Japan, Korea and coastal Northern Europe, seaweed has been eaten daily for centuries. It has always been valued not as a supplement or health trend, but as a natural ingredient that supports the body while making food taste better.

Seaweed is naturally rich in iodine, iron, magnesium and fibre, alongside a unique umami flavour that enhances simple dishes without the need for excess salt. Used little and often, it fits effortlessly into everyday cooking.

Save the date for the 3rd Baboon Biennale

Saturday, 19 September
Sunrise to Sunset
Smitswinkel Bay

Since 2022 we’ve come together to celebrate our fellow primates we share the peninsula with. This year the theme is ‘Baboons as our Heritage’. We asked artists to sit with that idea and make work that speaks to it.
More than twenty artists are exhibiting and young emerging artists have made work for it alongside them.

Come down to Smitswinkel for the day. There’s the artist opening, a discussion around baboons as our heritage, a walk where you learn what wild food from the fynbos we have in common with baboons and many more activities alongside the extraordinary art.

Boerewors/vegan wors rolls on offer. Bring the whole family.

Or you can eat what baboons eat in a cooked up Baboon Buffet, book here: www.rewildfood.co.za

Bring your own drinks and credit card for Snapscan. Enjoy the day and take some baboon art home with you.
