We were on a road trip, exploring the northern region of Victoria when we drove through Mokoan, the land of the Yorta Yorta Nation- also known as the Winton Wetlands. The landscape was a sea of brown crunchy grass and bare slithery gums. Lydia thought the scene was in some ways familiar, the light scrub not dissimilar to her home village. Keeping connected to her culture is what gives Lydia strength. When she wears her Ovambo dress and headwrap and holds the horsetail whip, memories of festivities, ceremonies and ancestors are evoked. “Ngaye omukulukadhi gomuwambo omuthigululwakalo gwoshiwambo” (I am an Ovambo woman in the traditional attire of Oshiwambo). She presses that culture is a living and evolving entity, but insists that one must know their roots and traditions. Living in the regional town of Shepparton, Lydia is the only Namibian. Although culturally isolated, it is her sheer strength, determination and faith that propels her to keep going. This artwork is 80cmx80cm, printed on Infinity Rag Photographique paper.
