Pot-making 0303-20140228 - Pot-making Linguistic and ethnographic documentation aimed at identifying loci of cultural and linguistic reproduction in two communities speaking endangered Bantoid languages

This video has been shot in front of Mami Ikami's house. Mami Ikami shows how to make a traditional pot. The performance was not planned in advance: Mami is forced to use "mud" rather than clay. At the end of the recording, one of her nieces shows how to make k@nya'a "tool used to decorate pots by impression". Apart from its importance from a cultural point of view (traditional pot-making is a disappearing practice), the recording is interspersed with elicitations and dialogues in Ajumbu language.
