EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Hamar mother and child moving home" we are transported to the vibrant world of the Hamar people in Southwest Ethiopia. The image showcases a powerful bond between a mother and her child as they embark on a journey, carrying all their possessions with them. The Hamar community, known for their semi-nomadic pastoralist lifestyle, revolves around the needs of their livestock. In this nomadic existence, every aspect of life is intertwined with nature and tradition. The woman's red ochre-dyed skin clothes and ochred hair reflect the rich cultural heritage that defines these indigenous people. With grace and strength, the mother carries sleeping mats and gourds on her back while holding her baby close. It is a testament to her resilience as she navigates through rugged terrain in search of new grazing grounds for their animals. The photo captures not only the physical act of moving but also symbolizes the essence of family unity within this traditional African society. As they traverse across the breathtaking landscapes of the Hamar Mountains, metal bracelets jingle on their wrists while leather garments sway with each step. This image serves as a window into an ancient way of life where simplicity meets profound connection to nature. It reminds us that even amidst constant change, there are communities like the Hamar who continue to honor ancestral traditions while embracing modern challenges – truly embodying resilience in motion.
