EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dakar" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Dakar, Senegal in 1968. The renowned Italian photographer, Folco Quilici, skillfully captures a mesmerizing street scene that encapsulates the performing arts and rich history of this contemporary African nation. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported into the heart of Dakar's bustling city life. The image is filled with action as we witness a lively performance taking place on an open-air stage. The performers exude energy and passion as they showcase their talents to an enthralled audience. Their colorful costumes add a touch of vibrancy against the backdrop of Dakar's urban landscape. Quilici's lens not only captures the essence of performing arts but also provides us with a glimpse into Senegal's diverse population and its historical significance. We see black Africans from various ethnic backgrounds coming together to celebrate their shared culture through music, dance, and storytelling. The photograph offers more than just visual appeal; it serves as an anthropological artifact documenting the negroid populations' traditions and folklore within Senegal. It invites us to explore deeper into the country's ethnography by showcasing its people, territories, and national identity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Quilici for Alinari, we are reminded of how photography can transcend time and space. It allows us to connect with different cultures while appreciating their unique histories through powerful imagery like this one from Dakar in 1968 – truly a testament to both artistry and cultural preservation.
