On another level, Ntoto also evokes sculpture, because art, too, has the power to heal. This work focuses on two essential elements: art and dialogue, which are key tools in the process of healing and repair. One begins by addressing the fractures of the past – such as the history of war and colonialism – along with the emotions and wounds they have left behind. Certainly, it may feel too late to revisit these painful chapters. Still, intention is to take a positive step forward and initiate a genuine process in this direction. The project also draws inspiration from a Bantu proverb, KUFUA KUVUA, literally: to “to die is to return”.https://cure.uni-saarland.de/app/uploads/2024/09/CURE-Fellow-2024_Geraldine-Tobe-c-Joerg-Puetz-scaled.jpg25602560
