EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Carlo Kaminski showcases the resilient San Hunter-gatherers in Africa, offering a glimpse into their ancient way of life. The San people, also known as Khoi Khoi or Saan, are among the first inhabitants to settle in Southern Africa. Their culture and social structure have remained largely unchanged for centuries, but unfortunately, they face ongoing threats of dispossession from settlers encroaching on their ancestral lands. The image captures a group of San hunters engaged in their traditional foraging activities against the backdrop of the vast Southern African landscape. With incredible skill and knowledge passed down through generations, these resourceful individuals hunt animals with utmost respect and ensure no part goes to waste. They dig holes in the sand to access water sources and utilize ostrich eggshells as containers. In contrast to modern agricultural practices that have fenced off much of their environment, forcing them to adapt their migration routes, the San's survival depends on maintaining harmony with nature. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how indigenous peoples like the San continue to thrive despite external pressures. As we admire this stunning portrayal of hunter-gatherer lifestyle amidst sand dunes and rural countryside, let us reflect upon our own relationship with nature and consider ways we can protect both cultural diversity and fragile ecosystems worldwide.
