EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Patrick Baz, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Tripoli, a city in northern Lebanon. The image showcases a young Lebanese boy enthusiastically participating in the Zambo carnival, which took place on February 26,2017. Dressed in an elaborate mask that conceals his identity, he embodies the spirit of this unique celebration. The Zambo carnival holds great significance as it marks the final period of indulgence before the Christian Greek Orthodox lent begins. It is fascinating to note that despite its century-old tradition, the exact inspiration behind this annual event remains shrouded in mystery. Legend has it that a Lebanese emigrant who had returned from Brazil introduced this lively carnival to his hometown of Tripoli. Baz's photograph beautifully captures both the energy and enigma surrounding Zambo. The boy's profile stands out against a backdrop filled with colorful costumes and exuberant revelers. His mask adds an element of intrigue while symbolizing anonymity during these festive proceedings. This image serves as a testament to Lebanon's rich cultural tapestry and religious diversity. It reminds us how traditions can transcend borders and time itself, connecting people across continents through shared celebrations like Zambo. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but be drawn into its offbeat documentation of joyous chaos—a momentary escape from reality where masks become windows into our collective imagination.
