[NICHOLAS HLOBO]
Even though I come from a culture
where men are very important,

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,840
I grew up in a household
where there was no male figure.

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,060
I was brought up by my maternal grandmother.

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,920
She was a tough cookie,
and I'm grateful to have had her.

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,820
"All forces, good or bad,
or somewhere in between,"

6
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:30,840
"will be anxiously awaiting
for the daring fool"

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,960
"that hopes to venture onto the new land."

8
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:37,640
"Don't be scared. Just enjoy the cruise."

9
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:41,140
I think in English,

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,740
which was the reason
I found myself trying to

11
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:46,740
go into using the Xhosa language--

12
00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:50,200
to remind myself of where I come from.

13
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:56,000
I decided that the title of the exhibition
should be "Zawelela ngale,"

14
00:00:56,740 --> 00:01:02,000
which is two words that refer to
going to the other side.
