Chongoni Rock Art Area

The richest concentration of rock art in Central Africa, spread across 127 sites in the forested granite hills of Malawi's central plateau - paintings by BaTwa hunter-gatherers overlaid by later Chewa farmer art whose symbols, tied to women's initiation, rain-making and funerary rites, remained in active ritual use into the 20th century.
