Photo Exhibition: Turkana Cultural Festival, Feb 26th - Mar 19th 2009 @ National Museum

Opening of the exhibition was on Thursday 26th February 2009 at 6pm. The first Lake Turkana Cultural Festival took place last June in Loiyangalani. The festival was organized by the German Embassy and cofunded by the EU-Commission.

Joan Perreruan and other photographers captured some of the highlights of this unique event. In October, the photographs were shown in an exhibition at the Goethe-Institut.

As a reaction to the interest elicited by the exhibition, a wider range of photographs comprehensively documenting the festival held at Lake Turkana will be on display at an exhibition at the Nairobi National Museum, Hall of Kenya.

The German Embassy is planning to hold a second festival 15-16 May in Loyangalani at the Lake Turkana.
