ABSTRACT
Topic : African MorpholoAs the world changes increasingly rapidly, there is a universal hegemony that diminishes the role of Indigenous Knowledge Systems. Such systems should not be lost to the canvas of human experience by the dominance of remote thinking. This study excavates the way amaXhosa has been repetitive, over some time, creating spaces with a presence of identity and representation. AmaXhosa is a Bantu ethnic group from Southern Africa mainly found in the Eastern and Western Cape, South Africa, and in the last two centuries throughout the southern and central-southern parts of the country.According to oral tradition, it suggests that as early as 1593 there were Xhosaspeaking people as far south as the Eastern Cape
And that they had probably already been in the region for some time before that. Their belief systems are anchored by the continuous practice of amasiko(traditions) Neith (customs), which plays a role in the interpretation and exploration of amaXhosa morphology. A visual research method will be used to explore visual-spatial elements within this morphology, which includes identification of ritual artifacts: visually interpreting them and embedding them in a contemporary habitat. This research will contribute to the spatial understanding, navigation, and representation of otherness(amaXhosa) with a Contemporary Cosmopolitanism.
