Abstract

Welcome to our portrait, in imagery and sound, of a refugee community. This presentation accompanies Wendy James’ study of how Sudan’s civil wars have affected just one among many minority groups who have lived through loss and displacement. You are invited to enter a series of eight clusters of video clips which illustrate the memory rich landscape of Bonga, one of several refugee settlements in Ethiopia where displaced Sudanese sought safety and assistance over the last two generations. To view the video clips, you will need a broadband connection and Flash 8 player. There are also a few audio clips which require a quicktime player.

Additional Information Additional Information : This website was made to accompany Wendy James' 2007 book on 'War and Survival in Sudan's Frontierlands: voices from the blue nile'. It was part of an ongojng and intermittent collaboration between us, around which I have published several journal artlcles and book chapters. It is a creative contribution to my curatorial work with i-Docs and my thinking around on spatial montage and interactive documentary.
