Above is the route that we took, by foot, on ‘A Short Walk in the Gambian Bush – a 930km African odyssey‘, 2009, around the smallest mainland African country, where Jason took the formal portraits of the village chiefs – the alkalo’s – we stayed with each night, which will all be exhibited from tomorrow night, for one month.

The Gambian chiefs are coming home… at last.

We look forward to welcoming you to our journey – opening event, Fri 3rd April, 3-6pm, Gaya Art Cafe.
