Dynamic culture - Preserving traditions

Culture is dynamic - changing and moves along with time and with generations. But it’s equally important that new generations know what the culture and traditions of their ancestors are-: where they come from and what it means.  The rope and string, raw and coloured, represent the Afrobantu cultures that both bind us and liberate us. The ancient wooden masks represent these ancestors who both look over us and after us.
