According to !Nawases-Taeyele, the festival serves as a platform to showcase the diversity and beauty of the Owambo cultural heritage.
“It reminds us of the rich fabric of traditions that make Namibia unique. In a dynamic world that is increasingly imbued by globalisation and rapid change, the preservation of our cultural identity is more important than ever,” she said.
“Our traditions are not relics of the past, but living expressions that continue to shape our present and guide our future.”
The festival is expected to take place from 21 June to 2 July.
