EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remnants of colonialism in Gitega, the previous capital of Burundi. The image transports us to a time when tropical modernism was all the rage among expats in the 1950s. As we gaze upon this architectural marvel, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage and history that permeates every corner of Africa. The Belgian influence is evident in the design and structure of this house, standing as a testament to an era long gone but not forgotten. Nestled amidst lush rainforests and rural landscapes, Gitega exudes an air of tranquility and charm that can only be found in sub-Saharan Africa. Located near the equator, this town basks in its equatorial glory with vibrant colors and natural beauty enveloping it from every angle. It serves as a reminder that even though time has passed, some relics remain untouched by progress or commercialization. As we delve into this photograph captured by TM for Discover Images by AWL, our imaginations run wild with stories untold about life during colonial times. We ponder on how these structures have witnessed countless moments throughout history - both joyous and sorrowful. In essence, this print encapsulates not just architecture but also captures a slice of African identity - one that is rooted deeply within its past while embracing modernity at its core.
