About this artwork
To impress young women and become warriors, the Suri men engage in these initiation battles. These rites are now threatened. Report published in VSD no. 1704 (April 21-27, 2010).
It is in the plains of southwestern Ethiopia, near the Sudanese-Kenyan border, on the western banks of the Omo River, after the rainy season, when food is plentiful, that young Suri men come of age. Twenty or thirty fighters from different villages gather in a circle, armed… with long sticks, to engage in the "Donga" combat. Blows crack through the air, violent and swift. The novices take turns facing each other, proving their strength, agility, and courage before the women. They aim to seduce them, but also to train for combat, settle disputes between villages, and maintain order in this traditional society, which lacks a marked social stratification or centralized political authority.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
Annie-France Giroud primarily expresses herself through acrylic paint and resin, drawing on her training at the EPP in Paris and a career in fashion and advertising. Her technique blends abstract overlays, engravings of human figures, and textural effects created with palette knives, brushes, and other tools, inspired by cave paintings, the sea, and African and Arabic motifs. Her work, poised between abstraction and figuration, conveys the vital energy of natural elements and a profound admiration for universal beauty.
