DANYÉ launches the New Collection DESERT DIARIES
DESERT DIARIES is a story about two San (Bushmen group) children – !Nanni et Tamme-.
Over a century ago they travelled from the northern borders of Botswana to Cape
Town and were taken into custody for unknown reasons. Pioneering linguists Lucy
Llody and William Bleek, took them into their care in 1880.
They asked the youngsters to record as much as possible about the plants they used
and ate, the animals they encountered in Botswana and on their journey to the Cape
and the folk tales that they had grown up with.
Our own research revealed a book documenting their story and their own hand
drawings; an incredibly rare archive of children’s experiences of both the violence
of the colonial frontier and of just being children.
Through further exploration of !Nanni and Tamme’s remarkable story, the artist,
Amanda du Plessis, has created a really poetic textil collection on linen. She has
taken the current colour burst trend into consideration. She has also included new
embroidery tecniques and added deep dyed elements to build futher textures to the
range.
