EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to a momentous occasion in history - the visit of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh to Ghana in 1961. The image showcases a group of Ashanti chieftains and dancers eagerly awaiting the arrival of Her Majesty at Kumasi Sports Stadium, also known as Baba Yara Stadium. Dressed in their traditional national attire, adorned with intricate head dresses and vibrant fabrics, these dignified figures exude an air of anticipation mixed with reverence. Their presence signifies not only the rich cultural heritage of Ghana but also highlights the importance placed on this royal visit. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance that such encounters hold for both sides. It is a meeting between two worlds - one steeped in centuries-old traditions and tribal customs, while the other represents modernity and global influence. In this single frame captured by Terry Fincher's lens, we witness history unfolding before our eyes. We see tradition meet royalty as these Ashanti chieftains and dancers patiently await their turn to pay homage to Queen Elizabeth II. This photograph encapsulates a moment where cultures collide yet find common ground through mutual respect and admiration. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast differences, there is always room for understanding and appreciation when diverse worlds come together under one roof.
