Traditional art has become an important tenet of modernist Africa, but for the community of Xivuyini in northern Limpopo it has always been more than just aesthetics, their art is also functional. In this programme we look at the fertility of the region and how the Shangaan in Elim not only use wood from the forests for carving, but also the clay from the earth for pots, fruits from the trees for food and herbs from the veld for medicine. Series produced and directed by Bjorn Rudner for the Media Peace Centre and funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund.
