This is one of the most surprising ethnographic journeys, in a secluded world far from the beaten track, where tribal culture is still present and vital, encountering populations who are masters of decoration and body deformation, such as the Anuak, Nuer and Surma, amidst ancestral traditions and atavistic rituals.
What strikes the visitor most on arriving in the far reaches of the Omo Valley is the particular aesthetic sense of the people who inhabit these lands. The Surma women, for example, from a young age, make lip holes in which they insert decorative terracotta plates, which are gradually replaced with larger and larger ones. A body cult made up of decorations, scarifications and deformations, sometimes bloody, which nevertheless play a fundamental identity role in indicating ethnic belonging.
