01 Prince Kamaazengi Marenga
Namibian poet and self-taught multidisciplinary artist. His poetry is one of rediscovering oneâs humanity pursued through a reconnection with oneâs ancestry, an ancestry that espouses the love for a multiplicity of being. Prince Marenga is a free spirit, sensitive to his surroundings, expressing his hopes, aspirations and uncertainties, which all Youth experience, more particularly the Ovaherero, who were the victims of the Maafa/Genocide, which was to wipe them off the face of the world. Marenga refers to his wanderings, a product of his antecedents, which he carries, as do the Nama and the Khoi-san. Born in exile in Botswana of parents who were raised by survivors of the Herero/Nama genocide at the hands of German colonialism, he now lives here in Germany, self exiled and a refugee.
