Berando says, ‘I draw so that the little children can have a previous life, so they can see where we they came from and how they lived. But people put pressure on me when I show the war from Angola, I can’t show the things from South West Africa, I can’t show the life we lived in Schmidtsdrift after 1990. People want to forget about these things.’

As a documentary artist, Bernado is a living reminder of the !Xun’s uncomfortable memory. Like many artists, he feels alone in his endeavours to witness, remember and dream.

‘Perhaps I will die,’ says Bernado, ‘and then my family, my brother, my uncle, they can see, this is the work he did; these are the things he drew because I know in the old times they painted on the rocks. But they were not like us Bushmen who came from the war. Those Bushmen, I am not like them. But it does not matter, I must still follow there.’
