EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Coast of Lower Juba" transports us back in time to the rugged beauty of Somalia's southern coastline. Taken in 1972 by the talented photographer Folco Quilici, this print captures a moment frozen in history. The image showcases the vastness and serenity of the coast, with its pristine sandy beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. The jagged cliffs rise majestically from the turquoise waters, creating a dramatic contrast against the calmness of the sea. It is a landscape that evokes both tranquility and awe-inspiring power. Intriguingly, scattered along this picturesque shoreline are groups of black Africans – negroid populations who call this region their home. Their presence adds depth to this photograph, reminding us of the rich cultural diversity found within Africa's borders. Quilici's lens skillfully captures not only nature's grandeur but also hints at human life intertwined with it. The subjects' attire suggests they may be engaged in daily activities or simply enjoying a peaceful moment by the shore. Their expressions remain hidden from view, leaving room for our imagination to wonder about their stories and experiences. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph holds anthropological significance as well. It offers glimpses into population dynamics and nationalities prevalent during that era while shedding light on ethnography and folklore unique to these coastal communities. As we gaze upon "Coast of Lower Juba" we are transported through time and space – invited to appreciate both nature's splendor and humanity's intricate tapestry woven across cultures. This print serves as an enduring testament to Quilici’s artistic prowess while offering us an opportunity for reflection on our shared pasts and diverse identities.
