EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s in Sierra Leone, Africa, where the Bundu "devil dancers" of Freetown are seen performing for none other than the Prince of Wales during his African tour on April 23rd, 1925. The image captured by Grant Bernard showcases a mesmerizing display of African customs and traditions. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of native people dressed in vibrant attire, their bodies adorned with intricate patterns and accessories. The "devil dancers" exude an air of mystery as they move gracefully to the rhythm of traditional music. Their dance is both strange and unusual to Western eyes but holds immense cultural significance within their community. As we delve into this historical moment, it becomes evident that even royalty such as King Edward VIII were captivated by these unique performances. This visit not only highlights the beauty and richness of African culture but also serves as a reminder that traditions have the power to transcend borders. Grant Bernard's photograph allows us to travel through time and immerse ourselves in an era when exploration was at its peak. It reminds us that art has the ability to preserve history and celebrate diversity.
