EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shanghai. Classroom of a children's school in a working-class neighborhood" transports us back to the bustling streets of 1977 China. Taken by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, this image captures the essence of education and community in one frame. In this snapshot, we are invited into a modest classroom filled with eager young minds from a working-class neighborhood in Shanghai. The room is adorned with simple wooden desks and chairs, each occupied by curious students dressed in their traditional uniforms. Their bright eyes reflect determination as they listen attentively to their teacher at the front of the class. The atmosphere exudes an air of resilience and hope despite any hardships these children may face outside these walls. It serves as a testament to the power of education as an equalizer, offering opportunities for growth regardless of social background or economic status. Through Quilici's lens, we witness not only an educational setting but also glimpses into Chinese culture during that era. The photograph encapsulates both historical significance and timeless themes such as perseverance, unity, and ambition for a better future. As we contemplate this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, it reminds us that education has always been pivotal in shaping societies worldwide. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even within humble surroundings, knowledge can flourish and transform lives. Quilici's ability to capture raw emotions through his lens allows viewers to connect deeply with this moment frozen in time—a moment where dreams were nurtured amidst challenging circumstances—an enduring testament to human resilience against adversity.
