EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the vibrant streets of Cairo, Egypt during the 1980s. The image features a group of Egyptian women, dressed in traditional clothing, walking and laughing together on a bustling city street. The women's colorful garments, adorned with intricate patterns and embroidery, stand out against the backdrop of the ancient buildings and narrow alleyways. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, with the golden light casting long shadows across the cobblestones. A young boy, dressed in simple clothes and wearing a curious expression, watches the women from a distance. Rod Shone, the British photographer, expertly captures the sense of community and connection among the women, as they go about their daily lives in the heart of this historic city. Cairo, the capital of Egypt and the largest city in Africa, is a fascinating blend of ancient and modern culture. The city is home to some of the world's most famous landmarks, including the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Yet, despite its rich history and tourist attractions, it remains a vibrant and bustling urban center, with a rich and diverse population. This photograph offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the Egyptian people during the 1980s, a time of political and social change in Egypt and the wider Middle East. It is a reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and the enduring allure of the ancient city of Cairo.
