Learning from South Omo – An exhibition

From 15 July to 15 August the findings from two research programmes – Mursi Educating Others and Agro-Pastoralists Educating Others – were presented at a series of events, workshops and exhibitions. The main exhibition took place at the Modern Art Museum of the Gebre Kristos Desta Centre in Addis Ababa.

Supported by scholars from SOAS University of London and the Institute of Peace and Security Studies at the University of Addis Ababa, more than seventy research projects covered a wide range of subjects. Topics were devised and projects led by researchers representing the Arbore, Banna, Bodi, Daasanach, Mursi, Nyangatom and Hammar communities. All results are wholly owned by the researchers themselves and appear here with their permission: this is research about people in South Omo, by people in South Omo, and for people in South Omo.

This is a coalition between SOAS, IPSS, and the South Omo Theatre Company, supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
