Dinka

Description

World-renowned photographers Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly vanishing way of life and cultures of the indigenous people of Africa. Turning their lenses to the great pastoralists of the Sudan, they present a story that started with their first visit to this region thirty years ago in their latest publication, DINKA: The Great Cattle Herders of the African Sudan. Granted acceptance among the Dinka people, who call themselves “jieng” and “mony-jang” meaning “men of men”, Beckwith and Fisher beautifully capture this rare symbiosis between man and animal with their photographs showcasing these legendary cattlemen.

A book signing for their new publication will be held at Modernbook Gallery Thursday, October 7 from 5:30-7:30 pm.

A lecture and book signing will be held at MOAD Saturday October 9, 2010 2:00-4:00 pm
