EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, captured by the talented photographer Folco Quilici in 1982, showcases a poignant scene of refugees from Ogaden Ethiopia. The image portrays a family unit consisting of a mother, father, and their precious baby. It is an intimate portrait that speaks volumes about the human experience amidst social and political turmoil. The composition exudes raw emotion as the parents lovingly cradle their child, displaying a deep affection that transcends their challenging circumstances. Their faces reflect both resilience and hope for a better future as they navigate life as emigrants seeking refuge. Quilici's lens captures not only the physical rapport between parent and child but also sheds light on broader societal issues. The presence of these black Africans serves as a reminder of the diverse negroid populations across our globe with unique stories to tell. In this single frame, we witness the intersectionality of anthropology, ethnography, folklore intertwined with questions surrounding nationality and identity. These individuals represent more than just themselves; they embody an entire population displaced by conflict or other adverse conditions. As viewers engage with this evocative print from Alinari's collection, it prompts us to contemplate our shared humanity while acknowledging the complexities within society at large. This photograph encapsulates how art can transcend borders and language barriers to convey universal truths about love, strength, struggle, and resilience. Quilici's work reminds us that behind every statistic lies countless untold narratives waiting to be heard – stories that challenge preconceived notions about refugees' lives while fostering empathy towards those who have been forced to leave their homes in search of safety and stability.
