'30 at 30' tells a Rich story

One of the pictures by Rich Allela at the exhibition.

The El Molo tribe is a significant focus in ‘30 at 30’, an experiential photographic exhibition which opened at Movenpick Hotel on Tuesday. The curator, Rich Allela, travelled to villages to compose this body of work. One such place the art photographer set camp was at Loyiangalani, a small village at the shores of Lake Turkana. It is a home of the El Molo, the smallest tribe in Kenya.

The outcome of his interaction with the tribe were several art pieces, including ‘Vanishing Tribe’, a silhouette of three men on the shores of the lake. This is a symbolic representation of the nearly extinct community- there are only about 300 pure El Molos.
