Africa. These portraits are made from a combination of live sittings and photographs of each individual, some with the assistance of interpreters. Many of the proverbs were contributed by e. African elders - in Somali and Oromo, defending their old-world wisdom in their native languages.</div><br/> Wed, 08 May 2013 02:26:47 GMT pamela gaard http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=333270 <a
