EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Brian Swindells captures a vibrant moment in history, showcasing the resilience and cultural richness of women from Manila who found employment in a mill in Rochdale, Lancashire. Taken on the 20th of July 1972, these Filipino women bring their customs and traditions to life through a mesmerizing display of national dancing right on the cobbled streets of Rochdale. The image portrays a fusion of two worlds as these hardworking women proudly showcase their heritage while embracing their new lives in Greater Manchester. Dressed in traditional attire, they gracefully move to the rhythm of Binasuan, a folk dance that requires exceptional skill and balance. Their synchronized movements reflect not only years of practice but also serve as an expression of unity and camaraderie among themselves. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness how culture transcends borders and connects people from different corners of the globe. The glassy-eyed determination visible on each woman's face speaks volumes about their dedication towards making a better life for themselves and their families. Brian Swindells' photograph serves as both a testament to the strength and adaptability displayed by these remarkable women, as well as an homage to the diversity that enriches our society. It reminds us that no matter where we come from or what challenges we face, our shared humanity unites us all under one universal language - dance.
