Emet proposal

Emet proposes marketing of the gift of the Kipsigis –food, scene, clothes, artifacts, relics, events etcetera. In so doing, Kipsigis build its identity in the world. The way we live, though we cannot tell, when looked at from outside, Kipsigis is an interesting life.

Let’s build online exhibition. On it, we post pictures of artifacts –Sotet , Kisyet, Head Gears, Toropchot, Maragut, Kiragut, Saina; scene –Tulwap Kipsigis, Chebulu, Kapchain, Asururyet; events –Tumndo, Toror, Kechare Teta; food –Kimnyetab Kipsigis; people –Athletes, Mugenik, Kichamba, Koitalel, Towet, clothes –mungenik; healing waters, and other things that defines our identity.

This exhibition will create curiosity among the outside world. And they will want to come. When we offer it for free, we demonstrate our hospitality, itself an element of people’s identity. Borrowing from the facebook that offer free accounts and pages but its annual income is more than that of the GDP of countries in the sub-Sahara combined, we give this for free.

Pyramid is Egypt, and – (dash) is Kipsigis. Which architecture is Kipsigis’? A grass thatched houses is synonymous with poverty. And that is the iconic structure –simple and recognizable. What Kipsigis should do is ADD QUALITY to clothes, such as animal skin to a great fashion, food, scenes etc for others to love.

When all is done, what is the benefit? Not only build identity, but also attract tourist. The website will that lead curious to Kapkatet museum and others museums that will be created by then. When we take our mobile phone and take picture of the gift of the kipsigis, we are building a forum –a communal page. Our visit to the page affirms who we are –the kipsigis.

Toward the vision, Emet Post give insight into the news of the land. The mainstream journalism looks at the Kisyet as the unworthy story. Look at the story of pumpkin: when all is over it is the only trace of settlement –that a people dwelled in the Emet. When all the food is finished, pumpkin, which does follow season and need not constant caring, is the last to finish.
