EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the industrial area of Bombay, now known as Mumbai, in the state of Maharashtra, India. Taken in 1965 by the talented photographer Quilici Folco, this image captures a mesmerizing blend of hut-like housing structures amidst a bustling landscape dominated by industry. The scene unfolds with an intriguing mix of architectural elements and human activity. In the foreground stands an electricity generator, its powerful presence symbolizing progress and development. The instrument hums with life as it fuels the surrounding industries that drive Mumbai's economy. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we notice baskets filled with objects - perhaps tools or materials used in these industrial processes. Nets hang from poles nearby, suggesting a connection to fishing or other maritime activities that may have once thrived here. Amidst this vibrant tapestry lies a stone cabin – weathered yet resilient – standing tall against time's passage. It serves as a reminder of both tradition and adaptation within this ever-evolving cityscape. Intriguingly, scattered throughout are portraits capturing Indians from various walks of life; their faces reflecting not only diversity but also resilience inherent in Asiatic populations. This snapshot offers glimpses into their daily lives while simultaneously highlighting themes of population and nationality. Quilici Folco's photograph is more than just an artistic representation; it is an anthropological treasure that invites us to explore ethnography and folklore embedded within Mumbai's rich cultural fabric. With every glance at this remarkable print, one cannot help but marvel at how much has changed since 1965 while recognizing how certain aspects endure through time.
