EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Companionship of Jesus Mission, Bolivia" we are transported to a place where faith and culture intertwine. The image showcases a casket adorned with a statue of Christ deposed from the Cross, capturing the essence of devotion and companionship. The year is 1982, and we find ourselves in the heart of Bolivia, a country known for its rich indigenous heritage and deep-rooted Christian traditions. This photograph by Quilici, Folco takes us on an anthropological journey into the lives of Central and South American peoples, particularly the native populations of the Americas. The sculpture within the casket stands as a testament to both artistry and religious significance. Crafted with meticulous detail, it portrays Christ in his most vulnerable state - removed from the cross - symbolizing sacrifice and redemption. As viewers, we cannot help but be moved by this powerful representation. Beyond its artistic value lies something even more profound: faith. Bolivians have long embraced Christianity as an integral part of their identity. For them, religion is not merely a set of beliefs; it permeates every aspect of life – from daily rituals to communal gatherings. This print invites us to reflect upon themes such as spirituality, community bonds, and cultural preservation. It serves as a reminder that regardless of our backgrounds or nationalities, there is something universal about seeking solace in companionship – whether through human connections or divine presence. As we gaze at this remarkable work captured by Alinari's lens, let us appreciate how art can bridge gaps between cultures while simultaneously celebrating diversity. May it inspire conversations about tradition versus modernity or spark curiosity about different ways people express their faith around the world.
