Through portraiture and film, Sonoma Valley photographer Jane Baldwin gives voice to the women of the Omo River Valley of Southwestern Ethiopia and Northern Kenya.
Life-size photographs and accompanying stories capture the strength and vulnerability of each woman, each a holder of her ancestral wisdom. In the oral tradition of story telling their dignity is revealed. The exhibition, guest curated by Anne Veh, includes: an audio tour of short interviews of the Kara, Hamar, Nyangatom, Dassanech and Kwegu women; a video of Baldwin working in-situ, cultural artifacts, and a short film of a Kara woman sharing her concerns for the survival of her people.
