DWAN LYECI

Elephant Mambo

There is Hollywood and Bollywood but from Acholiland this is Achollywood. The story of my elephants and my people is the ultimate anthropomorphism between Homo sapiens and Loxodonta africana. Using her professional knowledge, skills and upbringing Dr. Abe an Acholi from Uganda brings issues that affect Africa and metastasises globally. From Darwin to the present elephant issues continue to mesmerise. Dr. Abe is aware that science and politics are not bedfellows
