Tju|ho is a publication on thoughtful design, exploring how place and community shape sustainable ways of making and walking. It centres on the re-creation of the traditional hunting sandal N!ang N|osi in Nhoma, Namibia, and its true owner, the Eland.
It brings together cobblers, photographers, hunters, storytellers, architects, scholars, and scientists to present a vivid montage of visuals, reflections, and initiatives examining what it means to belong to a place and to create footwear that embodies this connection.
Tju|ho promotes a dynamic and interconnected understanding of knowledge and identity. By doing so, it facilitates system-altering uses of information and strengthens the epistemic authority of Indigenous peoples. Tju|ho exemplifies a multi-method approach to knowledge integrating biomechanical quantitative data with qualitative, experiential, and embodied knowledge. This approach recognizes that knowledge is not only acquired through verbal transmission but also through movement, practice, and sensory engagement—with our ears, but also with our hands and feet.
