Covered Eighties Hubertus Kanus Nomad Nomadic Palmyra Population Smile Smiles Syria Syrian Beduin
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Bedouin woman from Palmyra, Syria, exudes a warm and welcoming smile as she goes about her daily life in the 1980s. The image, captured by renowned photographer Hubertus Kanus, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this ancient city and its resilient population. Palmyra, located in central Syria, was once a thriving oasis city and an important cultural center along the ancient Silk Road. The Bedouin people, traditional nomads of the Arabian desert, have long inhabited the region, living in tents and herding livestock. Despite the harsh desert conditions, the Bedouin woman in the photograph appears radiant and content, her face adorned with traditional jewelry and her head covered in a veil. Her bright, colorful attire stands out against the sandy backdrop, adding a vibrant touch to the otherwise arid landscape. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of a time when life in Palmyra was simpler, before the devastating conflicts that have ravaged the region in recent years. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of the people and their culture, and to remember the importance of preserving the world's historical and cultural treasures. Hubertus Kanus, a German photographer, traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and North Africa in the 1980s, documenting the daily lives of local people. His work captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a unique and valuable record of a time and place that has since been irrevocably changed. This photograph of the Bedouin woman in Palmyra is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the beauty and diversity of the world around us.
