A park talk on the current state of rock art research in Namibia takes place at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre this evening from 18h00.
Alma M Nankela, archaeologist and rock art specialist from the National Heritage Council of Namibia will attempt to highlight the history of rock art research in Namibia over the last 50 years.
One of the aims of the debate will be to examine where rock art research has been focused and the aspects of management and conservation of the rock art sites in Namibia.
This debate is inscribed in an exceptional frame because Namibia has one of the most outstanding, diverse and extensive rock art records in southern Africa. The rock art sites like Brandberg and Twyfelfontein in Damaraland that form part of the Unesco World Heritage are paragons of this original outside collection.
The country’s rock art database currently holds detailed records of both paintings and engravings. Eventually, challenges of studying rock art in Namibia, current research trends and future research perspective will be discussed.
The event takes place at the FNCC cinema. Entrance is free.
