A framed, cardboard poster with a wooden frame is mounted on a well-lit indoor wall, likely in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The poster has a faded, worn design with a mix of English and Swahili text. The poster describes "The Kondoa Community Project," formalized in 2009 as a partnership with Tanzania’s Department of Antiquities. Its aim is to implement a community rock art project in Kondoa, promoting the rock paintings for tourism and ensuring their preservation. Community meetings in 2009 generated an action plan addressing recommendations from the 2004 Kondoa Rock Art Sites Management Plan. A section titled "Other Tanzanian Rock Art Sites" lists locations near Singida, Iringa, Serengeti National Park, Bahai, Mbulu, Hanang, Lake Victoria, and Lake Eyasi Basins. These paintings depict animals like antelope, elephant, giraffe, and impala, along with human figures and geometric shapes. Tanzania also features rock gongs, paint, and engravings, broadly categorized as Late White Paintings and Red Paintings. These are attributed to the ancestors of the Sandawé and Hadza communities, who speak characteristic 'click' languages similar to Southern African Bushmen/San. The poster's bottom third includes the Swahili title "Mradi Wa Jamii Wa Kondoa" (Kondoa Community Project) and an image of a man. Swahili text explains that TARA (Tanzania Antiquities Research and Conservation Authority) collaborated with the Kondoa community in 2009 on preservation and management. A final section, "Miamba Ya Michoro Ingine Ya Tanzania" (Other Tanzanian Rock Art Sites), discusses additional sites, including those in Lake Victoria and Singida. No other objects or people are visible in the image.
