Indlela Yokuphila: The Soul’s Journey (in Zulu)
|
|
| The short film "Indlela Yokuphila" meaning "the Soul’s Journey" in Zulu was researched and narrated by Mpume Mthombeni (Empatheatre) and directed by Marc Moynihan (Shells & Spells) and Dr. Dylan McGarry (Empatheatre/Rhodes University). The film aims to make intangible ocean heritages more tangible in decision making for environmental governance and education through animation and public dialogue. The film strives to return the sacred to our conversations around human and ocean well-being. The film acts as a love letter to Kwa-Zulu Natal, a region that has faced its share of tragedies in recent years. It not only delves into Zulu traditions but also acknowledges other sacred rituals and practices intertwined in the region’s history. "Indlela Yokuphila" is a testament to the power of storytelling and collaboration in shedding light on the relationship between humans and marine ecosystems. |

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

The Living Sculpture Made by 90 Generations
While walking outside your home, or on a familiar street in your neighborhood, have you ever wondered who — what kinds of people and life journeys — walked those very same steps before you? The land has a way of connecting us across time, and a 3,000-year-old natural sculpture in Oxfordshire, England is a living embodiment of such interconnection. The Uffington White Horse is a football-field sized chalk-cut art horse carved into the hillside near Uffington Castle. Every few years, since the Bronze or Iron Ages of 1740-210 BC, an invisible stream of hands and hearts have gathered without fail to maintain this ancient work of art. Standing as an aged offering on the side of the hill, it has lived through countless rulers and wars, technological innovations, and ninety generations (and counting). It was even camouflaged for protection during World War II. In an era of machine-generated art, such living expressions shine a window into the immeasurable value of coming together for the simple joy of making something beautiful. { read more }
