Hanien Conradie
For a few years now Hanien Conradie has been studying and learning about rain making rites of Southern Africa. Many of my works are about calling for rain. Watershed is inspired by a rainmaking sacred site in South Eastern Botswana. In Botswana there are a few places where rainmakers have traditionally gone to do rituals and pray for rain. These are places of great power where it is believed the raindragon resides and the lightening bird can be seen. This work is a prayer for rain but also for abundance since the word for rain in Tswana is Pula, which is also the word for money. The work in relation to the European context does evoke dialogue around Ecology. Some regions of Europe are hotspots for multiple climate risks. Southern Europe is particularly exposed to the risk of wildfires and the impacts of heat and water scarcity on agricultural production, outdoor work and human health, "states the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the first European assessment of climate risks.
