00:00:06.990 --> 00:00:10.679
Even though I come from a culture
where men are very important,

00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:13.840
I grew up in a household
where there was no male figure.

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.060
I was brought up by my maternal grandmother.

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.920
She was a tough cookie,
and I'm grateful to have had her.

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.820
"All forces, good or bad,
or somewhere in between,"

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:30.840
"will be anxiously awaiting
for the daring fool"

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:33.960
"that hopes to venture onto the new land."

00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:37.640
"Don't be scared. Just enjoy the cruise."

00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:41.140
I think in English,

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:44.740
which was the reason
I found myself trying to

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:46.740
go into using the Xhosa language

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:50.200
to remind myself of where I come from.

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:56.000
I decided that the title of the exhibition
should be "Zawelela ngale,"

00:00:56.740 --> 00:01:02.000
which is two words that refer to
going to the other side.
