OMO

In "Omo," Lynn Doran's stunning photographic images lead us across a bridge spanning culture, time, and terrain to Southwest Ethiopia's Great Rift Valley, and along the winding bed of the Omo Valley's Omo River. Doran's formal artistic background lies in textiles, and she weaves with her camera, the warp and woof of her photographic images are textured with a deft mix of both the intimate, personal, and tactile, leading us on a graphic page-after-page trek with Omo Valley's dominant tribes, where past and present have continued to exist simultaneously, with little change for many hundreds, if not thousands of years. What Doran documented in 2013, ceased to exist in 2016. The dam is complete. The tap is turned off. The life line to the Omo Valley is dried up. Inevitably, neither we nor the Omo people can know what the future portends, other than more change, a change that leaves us recalling not the "way it was," only "the way it will never be again."
