The Arrangement of the Empire
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and historically significant print captured by Achille Beltrame in 1936. The image showcases a momentous event during the Italian occupation of Ethiopia, where one of their columns reaches and occupies the area of Lekemti. As our eyes wander through the photograph, we witness an enthusiastic crowd cheering on the soldiers as they make themselves at home in this African village. The composition beautifully captures the essence of propaganda and power dynamics within colonialism. The villagers, both men and women, wave with excitement while children curiously observe from their humble huts. This scene symbolizes not only Italy's imperial ambitions but also highlights how local populations were affected by foreign rule. Beltrame's artistic skill shines through his attention to detail, capturing every expression and gesture with precision. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph add depth to each element present – from the lush landscape surrounding Addis Ababa to the traditional Ethiopian dwellings that dot its terrain. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of Africa's complex history under European colonization. It invites us to reflect on themes such as politics, war, occupation, resistance, and cultural exchange. "The Arrangement of the Empire" is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates an era defined by struggle for independence and identity formation across nations once deemed colonies.
