Portrait of an elderly Jie woman (South Sudan).
The Jie (or Jiye) are an ethnic group residing in the Eastern Equatoria.
They speak a dialect of the Toposa language and are primarily agro-pastoralists, combining cattle herding with agriculture.
For them, dance holds cultural significance, reflecting their pastoral lifestyle and community values. Traditional dances serve as a means of communication, storytelling, and celebration.
Through their dances, the Jie express communal unity, celebrate significant life events, and reinforce social bonds within their community.
These performances are not only artistic expressions but also vital components of their cultural heritage, ensuring the transmission of traditions and values across generations.
