Tju|ho - Thoughtful Ways of Making and Walking

This book is about thoughtful design, exploring how place and community shape sustainable ways of making and walking. It centres on the recreation of the traditional hunting sandal of the San peoples of southern Africa. Aimed at fostering exchange at the intersection between design and anthropology, the book can be seen as a condensation of life in and around Nhoma, Namibia. Drawing upon her own ancestral knowledge and study of shoemaking, Catherine Willems leads a unique project combining oral literature, physical anthropology, and design into a reflective and beautiful work that is also a celebration of San culture, environmental knowledge, and ingenuity.
