WISDOM
IN MODERN SOCIETY
A unique and exclusive photo book, created by Alice Braat in collaboration with the San people from the Ancient Skills Academy at Harnas. 264 Pages of stunning content to inspire the world with stories and knowledge from the oldest culture alive on our planet; the San Bushmen.
This extraordinary photo book about a culture with an unwritten history, is more than just a collection of images—it’s a rare and intimate glimpse into the lives, traditions, and resilience of the San Bushman people. It’s a tribute, a call to action, and a chance to connect with the roots of humanity.
