Discussing the Masai people of Africa with photographer Carol Beckwith.
In a their man-made raft, Hesselberg and his crew travelled 4300 sea miles out in the open water. Erik Hesselberg talks about navigating the three-month long expedition on the Kon-Tiki from South America to French Polynesia. Hesselberg said everyone should have such an experience as he did, to be unencumbered while out at sea.
Photographers Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher discuss their book “African Ark: People and Ancient Cultures of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.” The two discuss the cultural traditions of the indigenous groups from this region in Africa and the relationships they formed with these communities during this photography project. Studs plays an unnamed traditional Surma warrior song.
