00:00:04.990 --> 00:00:08.230


00:00:21.825 --> 00:00:26.359
Todo aquí solía ser fina grava blanca

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.803
que iba hasta el final del camino.

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:31.560
Era hermoso.

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:32.843
Pero es mucho trabajo.

00:00:34.442 --> 00:00:36.899
Creo que no me gusta mucho rastrillar.

00:00:36.908 --> 00:00:38.853
Mi idea de hacer el jardín

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.191
es tirar semillas y dejar las cosas crecer

00:00:42.191 --> 00:00:43.988
como si crecieran en la naturaleza.

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:01.219
Según mi memoria, de niño siempre dibujé.

00:01:03.492 --> 00:01:06.601
Luego me sorprendía construyendo cosas.

00:01:08.721 --> 00:01:12.198
Siempre le mostraba a mi abuela y una tía

00:01:12.198 --> 00:01:13.628
y me decían (en Xhosa)

00:01:13.698 --> 00:01:17.228
(en Xhosa) quiere decir persona creativa.

00:01:22.721 --> 00:01:25.323
Aunque en mi cultura

00:01:25.383 --> 00:01:27.023
los hombres son muy importantes,

00:01:27.153 --> 00:01:29.421
crecí en una casa sin figura masculina.

00:01:30.807 --> 00:01:32.751
Fui criado por mi abuela materna.

00:01:33.606 --> 00:01:36.490
Era dura, y estoy agradecido que la tuve.

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.957
"Todas las fuerzas, buenas o malas,

00:01:42.957 --> 00:01:45.427
o entremedio, esperarán ansiosas

00:01:45.597 --> 00:01:47.404
por el atrevido tonto

00:01:47.574 --> 00:01:51.384
que espera aventurarse hacia la nueva tierra.

00:01:51.384 --> 00:01:54.266
No tengas miedo, sólo disfruta el viaje."

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.240
Pienso en inglés, por eso me ví intentando

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:02.915
adentrarme a usar el lenguaje Xhosa.

00:02:03.846 --> 00:02:06.305
Para recordarme de donde vengo.

00:02:12.144 --> 00:02:13.833
Cuando me invitarion

00:02:13.833 --> 00:02:15.933
del Museo de Arte Uppsala en Suecia

00:02:16.693 --> 00:02:19.100
decidí que el título de la exhibición

00:02:19.910 --> 00:02:22.680
debería ser "Zawelela Ngale,"

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.654
lo cual son dos palabras

00:02:24.654 --> 00:02:28.137
que se refieren a cruzar al otro lado.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.000
En el mundo hay debates sobre los límites.

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.243
América quiere construir su propio muro.

00:02:40.525 --> 00:02:42.362
A veces tienes que estar físicamente

00:02:42.362 --> 00:02:44.252
en tu vientre arrastrándote,

00:02:44.252 --> 00:02:45.509
casi como una serpiente,

00:02:45.509 --> 00:02:47.389
para pasar debajo de cercados.

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:48.890
Pero dije,

00:02:48.890 --> 00:02:50.998
"eso no es de lo que estamos hablando."

00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:55.190
Hablamos de algo superior a esa cruzada.

00:02:56.700 --> 00:02:59.312
Cruzar, "Zaewlwla Ngale," podría ser

00:02:59.312 --> 00:03:01.575
una cruzada psicológica o espiritual,

00:03:02.309 --> 00:03:06.958
o cruzar al otro lado intelectualmente.

00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:20.103
Crecí en Transkei,

00:03:20.103 --> 00:03:23.273
previamente tierra natal Xhosa, en 1975.

00:03:25.534 --> 00:03:28.862
Sólo hay gente Xhosa y poca gente blanca,

00:03:28.862 --> 00:03:30.983
y gente de color.

00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:35.000
Aunque era arquitectura del apartheid,

00:03:35.070 --> 00:03:37.309
de alguna forma fuimos salvados

00:03:37.309 --> 00:03:39.659
de la dureza del apartheid.

00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:46.563
Experimenté el apartheid de primera mano

00:03:46.563 --> 00:03:48.493
cuando me mudaé a Johannesburg,

00:03:48.493 --> 00:03:51.854
donde marcaban la diferencia clarammente.

00:03:52.092 --> 00:03:54.751
Que eres Xhosa, eres Zulu,

00:03:54.751 --> 00:03:56.159
los Afrikaners,

00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.960
los ingleses,

00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.807
y todos los pequeños feudos

00:03:59.807 --> 00:04:01.672
que suceden entre cada grupo.

00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:06.002
Tenemos muchos desafíos

00:04:06.002 --> 00:04:07.932
en nuestra joven democracia.

00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:14.125
Es como si lo que pensábamos que era tenso

00:04:14.825 --> 00:04:17.675
Se está empezando a desenredar

00:04:18.588 --> 00:04:21.007
Entonces me miro en relación al mundo

00:04:21.724 --> 00:04:24.167
Siendo sudafricano, siendo negro,

00:04:24.501 --> 00:04:27.683
siendo Xhosa, siendo un hombre gay,

00:04:27.683 --> 00:04:29.877
siendo un hombre. Estoy mirando

00:04:29.877 --> 00:04:32.737
a las variadas culturas que han traído

00:04:32.737 --> 00:04:34.316
a este país hasta aquí.

00:04:34.316 --> 00:04:36.284
Si pensamos en la influencia holandesa,

00:04:36.284 --> 00:04:37.784
la influencia británica.

00:04:39.878 --> 00:04:41.308
Tuve que

00:04:43.832 --> 00:04:44.832


00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:55.000


00:04:55.146 --> 00:04:56.835


00:04:57.306 --> 00:04:58.475


00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:00.708


00:05:00.996 --> 00:05:05.725


00:05:06.370 --> 00:05:07.413


00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:11.136


00:05:11.590 --> 00:05:14.140


00:05:14.433 --> 00:05:16.983


00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:24.016


00:05:26.999 --> 00:05:29.112


00:05:29.112 --> 00:05:30.706


00:05:30.706 --> 00:05:33.351


00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.440


00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:42.496


00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:52.358


00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:55.817


00:05:57.825 --> 00:05:59.713


00:05:59.856 --> 00:06:00.834


00:06:00.834 --> 00:06:02.465


00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:10.613


00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:17.715


00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:21.291


00:06:21.291 --> 00:06:22.985


00:06:22.985 --> 00:06:23.767


00:06:23.767 --> 00:06:24.649


00:06:24.649 --> 00:06:25.832


00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.237


00:06:31.428 --> 00:06:32.218


00:06:32.218 --> 00:06:34.584


00:06:35.340 --> 00:06:36.000


00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.579


00:06:38.751 --> 00:06:40.179


00:06:40.179 --> 00:06:40.679


00:06:40.679 --> 00:06:42.337


00:06:42.337 --> 00:06:43.501


00:06:43.501 --> 00:06:44.593


00:06:44.593 --> 00:06:47.859


00:06:47.859 --> 00:06:48.784


00:06:48.902 --> 00:06:50.960


00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:52.960


00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:54.501


00:06:54.501 --> 00:06:55.853


00:06:56.521 --> 00:06:57.668


00:06:59.134 --> 00:07:05.000


00:07:12.508 --> 00:07:14.296


00:07:15.156 --> 00:07:18.242


00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:22.192


00:07:23.649 --> 00:07:25.972


00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:32.230


00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.624


00:07:37.744 --> 00:07:40.771


00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:45.967


00:07:45.967 --> 00:07:47.572


00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.267


00:08:01.888 --> 00:08:02.388


00:08:02.388 --> 00:08:03.388


00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:04.557


00:08:04.881 --> 00:08:06.726


00:08:06.726 --> 00:08:07.226


00:08:07.226 --> 00:08:08.088


00:08:08.088 --> 00:08:08.588


00:08:08.994 --> 00:08:10.000


00:08:10.378 --> 00:08:12.172


00:08:12.769 --> 00:08:17.101


00:08:17.101 --> 00:08:20.676


00:08:20.676 --> 00:08:22.676


00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:24.563


00:08:24.563 --> 00:08:25.650


00:08:25.650 --> 00:08:26.150


00:08:27.703 --> 00:08:32.945

00:08:35.574 --> 00:08:37.720


00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.363


00:08:39.817 --> 00:08:45.126


00:08:46.153 --> 00:08:47.513


00:08:48.683 --> 00:08:49.733


00:08:50.113 --> 00:08:51.091


00:08:51.353 --> 00:08:52.570


00:08:52.977 --> 00:08:54.456


00:08:54.456 --> 00:08:59.139


00:08:59.688 --> 00:09:02.980


00:09:04.509 --> 00:09:07.726


00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:18.022


00:09:18.022 --> 00:09:19.835


00:09:23.268 --> 00:09:28.849


00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:33.771


00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.799


00:09:38.276 --> 00:09:44.232


00:09:44.232 --> 00:09:51.268


00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.020


00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.921


00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:07.983


00:10:08.700 --> 00:10:11.295


00:10:13.011 --> 00:10:17.073


00:10:17.312 --> 00:10:19.713


00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.068


00:10:21.068 --> 00:10:22.141


00:10:22.573 --> 00:10:25.000


00:10:25.619 --> 00:10:27.600


00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.100


00:10:32.641 --> 00:10:36.040


00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.844


00:10:46.844 --> 00:10:49.881


00:10:51.242 --> 00:10:53.820


00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:56.880

00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:15.334


00:11:18.236 --> 00:11:23.295


00:11:29.339 --> 00:11:32.678


00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:39.314


00:11:39.314 --> 00:11:44.630


00:11:48.601 --> 00:11:50.785


00:11:50.785 --> 00:11:57.394
