I began my time in South Africa in late March, so I arrived a week before COVID-19 caused the country of South Africa to shut down. Luckily, I was able to meet some locals, try new foods and explore the beautiful scenery before our visas were revoked. South Africa is one of the places that I am the most excited to visit again because there is so much to learn about their endless culture.
I learned about a variety of arts and crafts that locals thrive on to express their culture and to provide a livelihood with an active tourism industry.
These artistic traditions are used to represent their cultures. It is a way to express their backgrounds and ethnicities which you can see in my photos here.
These traditions have been carried on for hundreds of years. Although it may not be as connected to the environment now, it has constantly been evolving.
