FIELDNOTES.

Studio Nxumalo Fieldnotes is an ongoing audio-visual record of Studio Nxumalo’s journey into land and stewardship, beginning at Kliprivier and continuing through the fieldwork at Waaipoort Farm. It follows the process through observation, labour, conversation and encounter, documenting questions and discoveries as they emerge.

The fieldnotes will gradually expand to include farmers, mentors, conservationists, chefs, researchers and others whose practices intersect with the project. Combining recorded voice, field recordings and cinematic footage, the work sits somewhere between podcast and documentary — an evolving account of the people, places, practices and ideas encountered along the way.
