South Africa in Geelong

Hlengiwe Dube has met some very nice friends in Geelong, including a lovely South African resident who actually comes from the same village as Hlengiwe, the Kenyan-born Nandi Young who is heavily involved in multicultural activities, and Louisa La Fonara, who is helping to organise the big PACO festival on 25 February. Hlengiwe was most amazed at the plants in garden near the gallery. She described one plant as 'just like the huts in her village'. She was so pleased that god has designed nature to be so different in different countries. Meanwhile, she has found some materials that Lucy Irvine has been using, and is now working on a hybrid telephone wire and cable tie bowl. Posted by Picasa
