Explore how traditional greetings and ancestral wisdom form the foundation of a powerful art movement in this 13-minute TED talk. Discover the profound meaning behind "How are the children? How are the cattle? Is it raining?" as filmmaker Jackie Lebo recounts her transformative journey with nine other artists to Turkana, an isolated region of Kenya where oil discovery has disrupted centuries-old pastoral life. Learn how this collaborative artistic expedition used film, photography, and music to uncover the deep cultural roots of art and illuminate the fundamental connectedness of humanity. Witness how musicians Elizabeth Korikel and Eddie Grey contribute to this exploration of how ancestral knowledge can inform contemporary artistic expression and cultural preservation in the face of modern disruption.
