EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Jalalaxi: the River Uebi Shabelle near a camp, women working and carrying water" transports us back to Somalia in 1972. Taken by the talented photographer Quilici Folco, this image captures a poignant moment of daily life along the banks of the Uebi Shabelle River. In this snapshot, we witness a scene that epitomizes resilience and strength. A group of Somali women can be seen diligently working together as they carry containers filled with water on their heads. Their graceful posture and determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to providing for their families despite challenging circumstances. The location is Jalalaxi, where a camp has been established near the river's edge. The river itself serves as a lifeline for these communities, supplying them with much-needed water for drinking, cooking, and other essential tasks. It is evident from this image that access to clean water is not taken for granted; instead, it requires hard work and cooperation. Quilici Folco's masterful composition draws our attention to both the natural beauty surrounding these women and their vital role within society. The lush vegetation along the riverbank contrasts with their vibrant traditional attire – an exquisite blend of colors against nature's monochrome palette. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies an important narrative about human perseverance in adverse conditions. This photograph reminds us of the indomitable spirit found within communities facing adversity – how people come together to overcome challenges through collaboration and determination. As we reflect on this powerful visual document from Alinari's collection, let us recognize not only its artistic value but also its ability to shed light on universal themes such as resilience, community bonds, and resourcefulness amidst hardship.
