Pepo la Tumaini works closely with some of the Samburu women in Archers Post who are trying to become more self reliant in the face of rapid modernisation and development. Artists take a trip up to visit them to understand how nomadic tribes sustain their lives while constantly being on the move in search of greener pastures for their cattle and safety from other clans. It is a valuable insight into why so many of the people who have settled in Isiolo town have never lived in a permanent house before.
Artists are welcomed with traditional songs and cultural rituals by the Samburu into their Manyatta at Archers Post
A once in a lifetime experience to be welcomed into their traditional homes made by the women from sticks, cardboard and mud.
The women explained how the men are the warriors and their role is to make the homesstead while the men spend time in the bush hunting, herding and stealing cattle.
A beautiful day with the beautiful people of the Samburu.
