This seminar reflects on a close and deep listening of scattered audio-visual recordings of the Oudano (play/ performance) practices by late Namibian artist Nanghili Nashima. Nanghili Nashima (Monika Haimene) was born in 1926 at Omukwiyugwemanya in Ondonga and grew up at Ongali, Ombadja and passed away in 2003. In a 1998 interview and performance archived on YouTube, Nanghili Nashima narrates her life story through autobiographical stories about living widely across Owambo in both northern Namibia and southern Angola.
