ANCIENT WISDOM IN MODERN SOCIETY
A unique and exclusive photo book, created by Alice Braat in collaboration with the oldest culture alive on our planet, the San Bushman people in Namibia. 264 Pages of stunning content to inspire the world with stories and knowledge from a culture with an unwritten history.
This extraordinary awarded photo book is more than just a collection of images—it’s a rare and intimate glimpse into the lives, traditions, and resilience of the San Bushman people, the world’s oldest culture alive on our planet. It’s a tribute, a call to action, and a chance to connect with the roots of humanity.
'ANCIENT Wisdom in Modern Society' is not for sale, but will be given to you as a token of appreciation for your donation to the San Eco-Village project. This project is a collaboration between the N/a'an Ku Sê Foundation and the San Bushmen in Namibia.
