EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Sarah Errington, we are transported to the arid landscapes of Uganda's Karamoja region. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight - a Karamojong cattle herd being watered at wells ingeniously dug into a dry river bed. As the scorching sun beats down relentlessly, these resilient animals find solace in the life-giving water that sustains them. What makes this photograph truly remarkable is the intricate markings and brands adorning each cow, indicating their clan ownership. These unique identifiers not only serve as symbols of pride but also reflect the deep-rooted cultural heritage of the Karamojong people. It is through these ancestral connections that they maintain their sense of belonging and unity within their communities. Errington's lens captures both the harsh realities and beauty intertwined in everyday life for these pastoralists. The contrast between parched earth and vibrant livestock creates a visually striking composition, evoking emotions of admiration for nature's resilience and human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded of our interconnectedness with nature and how different cultures have adapted to thrive in diverse environments. It serves as an invitation to appreciate both our shared humanity and the rich tapestry of traditions that make up our world today.
