EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "KENYAN WOMEN, 1936" takes us back in time to Fort Hall, near Nyeri, Kenya. In this snapshot of history, a group of Kenyan women are beautifully captured by the lens of a photographer in 1936. The image showcases the strength and resilience of these Kenyan women as they sit together outside Fort Hall. Their afros proudly frame their faces while their bare feet rest on the ground beneath them. Clad in traditional blankets and adorned with intricate earrings, necklaces, and rings, each woman exudes a sense of pride in her cultural heritage. Engaged in conversation and displaying genuine smiles that light up their faces, it is evident that these women find joy even amidst the challenges they may face. The photograph also highlights their remarkable skill as craftswomen and weavers. Textiles can be seen draped over some of the seated women's laps—a testament to their dedication to preserving traditional art forms. This historical moment frozen in time allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the hard work put forth by these Kenyan women. It serves as a reminder of their contributions to society during an era when opportunities for African women were limited. Through this print from The Granger Collection's archives, we honor these remarkable individuals who have left an indelible mark on Kenya's rich cultural tapestry.
