View Detail

The Tuareg people are nomads that live in West Africa. They traditionally carried the goods from North Africa to sub-Saharan Africa on their camels. With the tremendous droughts that have struck Africa in the last 20 years, many nomads have been forced to settle down because they have lost their beautiful herds. Theirs is a lifestyle that is disappearing. This piece has imagery typical of the Tuareg traditions.
