"Stella Maud Court Treatt: A Journey Through Sudan and East Africa" Step into the captivating world as she embarks on a remarkable adventure through Sudan and East Africa. In 1925 (1927), artist Thomas A Glover beautifully captures the essence of her journey, showcasing both the breathtaking landscapes and the vibrant cultures encountered along the way. One painting transports us to Mongalla to Terrakekka in Sudan, where we witness the Niam Niam lunatic dance with wild abandon. Their spirited movements mirror their untamed surroundings, leaving an indelible mark on our memories. Moving further into Sudan, we encounter young Dinka girls adorned with sticks in their noses and lips. This striking display of body modification speaks volumes about their cultural traditions and unique identities, and is a testament to their resilience and pride. As we continue our exploration, Glover's brush strokes transport us to Terrakekka to Aweil, revealing a characteristic Dinka attitude that exudes strength and determination. The unwavering spirit of these people shines through despite any challenges they may face. In Egypt's Halfa to Shellal region, mapping takes an unconventional form as nomads etch intricate patterns in the sand. This ancient practice serves as a reminder that knowledge can be preserved even without pen or paper – it resides within those who carry it forward. Glover then introduces us to an Arab woman from Southern Sudan during her journey from Abu Matarik to Halfa. Her piercing gaze reflects wisdom gained through years of navigating life's complexities amidst shifting sands. Nuan Atojian emerges next along Bahr el Arab river in Sudan – his presence evoking a sense of tranquility amid nature's wonders. His connection with this sacred waterway reminds us of humanity's deep-rooted bond with Mother Earth. A poignant moment unfolds when native men catch sight of a white woman for the first time on the journey from Mongalla to Terrakekka.
