EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1973 by Folco Quilici, we are transported to the coast between Kenya and Somalia, where a Bajuni fisherman gracefully holds the sail of his dan as he sails along the shimmering waters of Africa. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing both the beauty of nature and the resilience of those who depend on it for their livelihood. The Bajuni fisherman stands tall against a backdrop of endless blue sea and sky. His weathered face tells tales of countless voyages embarked upon, while his strong hands firmly grasp onto the sail that guides him through these treacherous yet bountiful waters. It is evident that sailing is not merely a means of transportation for this man; it is an art form passed down through generations - an intimate connection with both land and sea. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we gain insight into the rich cultural tapestry woven by black Africans like the Bajuni people. Their presence along these coastal regions has shaped local traditions, folklore, and ways of life for centuries. This image serves as a window into their world - one filled with stories whispered by winds carrying scents from distant lands. Quilici's lens captures not only individuals but also entire communities whose lives revolve around fishing - an occupation deeply intertwined with their identity. Through this photograph, we witness firsthand how work becomes vocation when passion meets necessity. This print by Folco Quilici offers us more than just visual stimulation; it invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and appreciate cultures different from our own. It reminds us that there is much to learn from those who have mastered harmonious coexistence with their surroundings – lessons that can guide us towards sustainability in our ever-changing world.
