I've been setting up a traveling photo exhibit throughout Karamoja for the last couple of weeks. The photographs in the exhibit compliment the research I'm carrying out in the region and provide context to the information my colleagues and I have collected in regards to seers, or prophets, and their role within Karamojong communities in contributing to peace as well as conflict. To say the very least, the response from local people has been quite remarkable.
