A crash course in changing the world.
I took this photo at Lesedi Cultural Centre in South Africa. In Africa a shield is a symbol of security or protections and it was used by the great warriors to protect the people and their kingdoms. In my culture, when an elder pa****-on, his successor is given his belonging. If its a boy, he is given a spear and shield. If its a girl, she is given a basket and a knife. The shield symbolizes protection for both family and nature, the spear symbolizes that the man should work hard to provide for his family.
I would like to reinvent the same spirit, I give you a shield and spear, not to fight people around you. But to protect nature; both fauna and flora.
It is your responsibility to protect our environment!!
As the generations come to pass, we have to keep our cultures growing, pass on the knowledge to the next generation and encourage them to do the same.
