Happenings

Over the course of three years and nine sojourns in Africa, photographer Hans Silvester, accompanied by a guide and two interpreters, documented the lives of the Hamer, Mursi, Surma, Bume, and Karo tribes. The photographs featured in this exhibition, depicting returns of hunting parties, groups of children, parades, and more, offer a glimpse into the everyday events of unknown Africa while portraying the artistic lives of these peoples, with their emphasis on human bodies, painted faces, and inventive and sophisticated hairstyles.
