This article focuses on the ways in which museums perform peri‐urban agency in urban peripheries. The latter are defined as meeting points between rural and urban economies and zones of transition and precariousness, shaped by intersectional inequalities. In South Africa, the experiences of migrant workers include governed (im)mobilities, living on the urban periphery and seeing the continuation of colonial practices in a neoliberal economic environment. A mnemonic reading of the ways in which migrant labour is interpreted and curated by the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum near Cape Town reflects the extent to which the control of mobilities continues to operate in the country's post‐apartheid neoliberal system. The manner in which the museum curates the experience of migrant‐labour casts light on the performance of a particular form of peri‐urban agency as a way of interpreting the experience of migrant labour beyond Cape Town's city centre. Such agency is not free from contestation but instead an articulation of mnemonic agency in a post‐colonial political setting.

策展（不动）流动：Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum 的郊区机构

本文重点研究博物馆在城市周边执行城市周边代理的方式。后者被定义为农村和城市经济以及转型和不稳定地区之间的交汇点，由交叉不平等形成。在南非，移民工人的经历包括受治理的（不动）流动、生活在城市边缘以及在新自由主义经济环境中看到殖民实践的延续。开普敦附近的 Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum 对移民劳工的解释和策划方式的记忆解读反映了对流动性的控制在该国后种族隔离的新自由主义体系中继续运作的程度。博物馆策划移民劳工经验的方式揭示了特定形式的城市周边机构的表现，作为解释开普敦市中心以外移民劳工经验的一种方式。这种代理并非没有争议，而是后殖民政治环境中记忆代理的表达。
