EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the opening of a new arts and crafts school in Cheren, dedicated to nurturing the creative talents of indigenous children from our Eritrean Colony. The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Achille Beltrame bring to life the excitement and promise that filled the air on this momentous occasion. In this image, we see a group of eager schoolchildren dressed in their uniforms, eagerly listening to their teacher as he imparts his wisdom. The European influence is evident through their clothing and tools, showcasing the blending of cultures that occurred during colonial times. The young boys are engrossed in learning various skills such as metalwork and woodwork, guided by skilled teachers who have traveled from Europe to impart their knowledge. This educational initiative aimed at equipping these native children with practical skills while preserving their cultural heritage. The opening of this school symbolizes Italy's commitment to its imperial ambitions in Africa, seeking not only economic gains but also investing in education for local populations. It represents a bridge between two worlds - European expertise merging with African traditions. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we cannot help but reflect on the impact that education has had on shaping societies throughout history. It serves as a reminder that every child deserves access to quality education regardless of their background or circumstances.
