Weaver Allina Ndebele who trained at The Rorke's Drift Art and Craft Centre by Lillian Gray

Allina Ndebele is a super-talented weaver who creates tapestries that capture the traditions and stories of the Zulu tribe. It's truly remarkable how she managed to become a respected artist, despite facing many challenges. She grew up in a traditional rural setting, where unfair rules from the time of Colonialism and Apartheid held her back. Plus, she had to deal with poverty. But guess what? Allina didn't let any of that stop her! Today, she is celebrated and honoured for her unique style and storytelling in her tapestries. She's one of the most famous female artists to come out of Rorke's Drift Art and Craft Centre in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. In this video, I'll take you through Allina's biography, discuss her weaving process, and talk about seven characteristics of her tapestries. And to top it off, I'll dive deep into two of her most famous works: "The Tree of Life” and "Nqamatshe and his muti magics."
