Indlulamthi

INDLULAMTHI is the isiXhosa word for a giraffe but, in direct translation, it also means ‘the ones who are taller than the trees’. I would like to use this image to celebrate the children of Grahamstown – The ones whom we see the streets every time we go to buy our tickets for shows; the ones we pass by on our way to our warm res beds, who stand in the biting cold to get a bit of our attention for a one rand coin.
