Origin of the World: creation and transformation in San Dress, Narrative and Rock Art, by Dr Vibeke Viestad
This exhibition looks at the rich material and embodied culture of San dress practices, and how these made explicit part of a complex cultural discourse encompassing all aspects of life – in myth, ritual, and everyday practice. The exhibition displays and explores special items, clothing and accessories, and the creation beliefs of historic Khoe and San groups from around southern Africa.
This is the story of the Origin of the World – told through ways of dressing the body.
On until end July 2024.
