Arbore
The Land of the Bulls
The continent overwhelms to the extent that it eludes logic; it grabs us by its excessiveness and consumes us more quickly.
Jaques Richard Molard
Ar - bore
We are the bulls of the land
„Ar“ means bull, "Bore" is the land. A bull is a powerful animal. It is the head of the herd. It leads and defends it. This is exactly how the Arbore people see themselves. They are the bulls of the land in southwestern Ethiopia. They are strong, they take care of the piece of the ground on and from which they live. The approximately 4,000 people live from field farming and their herds. In the alluvial land of the Woito River, they grow sorghum twice a year. Their pride and joy, however, are their cattle.
bamira
Initiated friendship
During my first stay in 1993, I was assigned a bamira. Bamira means best friend or soul sister. Rufo, my bamira and I did not choose each other. Rufo was chosen for me by the village elders and in return I was made to be their bamira. It was my initiation into their society.
My bamira and I truly became friends over time, with all the ups and downs that such a friendship between two people of completely different cultures must inevitably have. With her help, I was integrated into a family and was able to accompany, observe and question its individual members in their daily activities. When I come to Arbore today, I visit friends.
