EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tranquility and camaraderie in the heart of Djerba, Tunisia, during the 1980s. Two men, one clad in the traditional Tunisian djellaba, sit in a bustling street cafe, their relaxed postures and engaged conversation hinting at a deep connection. The Mediterranean sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the intricately tiled walls of the cafe and the vibrant colors of the surrounding buildings. Djerba, an island located in the southeastern part of Tunisia, is known for its rich history and unique culture, which has been shaped by the influences of various civilizations throughout the centuries. This image, taken in 1987, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Djerba during a time when the world was on the cusp of significant change. The men's attire, the traditional djellaba, is a symbol of the region's Islamic heritage and is still worn by many Tunisians today. The cafe, with its simple wooden chairs and tables, is a gathering place where people come to enjoy a cup of sweet, fragrant tea and engage in lively conversation. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of community and connection were cherished. It invites us to reflect on the importance of preserving the unique cultural traditions and heritage of North Africa, even as the world around us continues to evolve at a rapid pace.
