EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the unique architectural style of the Dorze people, who reside in the highlands west of the Abyssinian Rift Valley in Ethiopia. Standing tall at twenty feet, their homes are constructed with a bamboo frame and covered with sheaths made from bamboo stems or straw. The result is a magnificent structure resembling a giant beehive that truly stands out amidst its surroundings. The entrance to these traditional dwellings is marked by doorways carefully integrated into the intricate design. This exceptional form of housing reflects the deep-rooted cultural heritage and indigenous lifestyle of the Dorze community. It serves as a testament to their resourcefulness and craftsmanship, showcasing their ability to utilize natural materials found abundantly in their environment. Located in Chencha, within Ethiopia's Gamo Gofa Province, this African settlement exudes an aura of authenticity and tradition. The thatched roofs adorning each hut further enhance its charm while providing protection against various weather conditions prevalent in this region. Through this remarkable image captured by NP for Discover Images by AWL, we catch a glimpse into the rich tapestry of African culture and witness how indigenous communities like the Dorze continue to preserve their traditional way of life despite modern advancements.
