| Description: |
Courtney-Clarke's classic photographic work is the result of five years spent visiting the Ndebele of the southern Transvaal and recording their art. The people were violently treated and forcibly resettled so that, in many cases, these pictures are the only surviving documents of their work. |
| Synopsis: |
For generations, the women of the Ndebele of southern Afrcia have produced an art of remarkable richness and vitality. In their ceremonial beadwork and in large murals that cover the exterior walls of their mud dwellings, these women have created designs that are at once ancient and modern in their simplicity, bright colours and abstract patterns. |
