Dinka Youth

£600.00

Nicole Forrester, The Sudd. South Sudan, 2022

Young teenage boys in the Dinka tribe play a vital role in seasonal cattle camps in the Sudd swamplands, acting as the primary caretakers and defenders of the family herds. They manage daily herding, milk the cattle, burn dung for insect-repelling ash fires, and guard the livestock against predators and rivals. Older teenagers accompany their relatives on their daily fishing trips, learning the art of throwing and retrieving nets; net-making; gutting and drying fish. By their late teens, Dinka youths have transitioned into fully active fishermen.
