Summary: This video explores Namibia's constantly changing indigenous craft culture through the lens of first-hand accounts and personal stories. The narratives were collected from Namibian master craftspersons and humanities experts by the documentarian, Becky Beamer. One's personal transformation is inevitable - just like cultural materiality, craft processes, and the meanings behind those products. The stories are surprising and inspiring as told by an outsider.
