EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print captured by Zangaki, titled MFC-S-002230-0010. Transported to the late 19th century, we find ourselves immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of Nubia, a region nestled within Sudan. The image portrays a young couple belonging to the esteemed Bicharin tribe, their presence exuding an air of grace and tradition. The woman's hair is meticulously adorned with countless small braids, showcasing her dedication to beauty and heritage. Her partner stands tall beside her, donning a turban that adds an element of regality to his appearance. Strikingly tied across his left shoulder are both a shield and sword - symbols of strength and protection. As our gaze wanders beyond the couple, we catch sight of a tent serving as their backdrop. This simple yet significant detail hints at their nomadic lifestyle and highlights their deep connection with nature. Every aspect within this photograph tells its own story - from the intricate accessories such as bracelets adorning wrists to the carefully crafted hairstyles that reflect generations-old traditions. It serves as an invaluable anthropological artifact providing insights into ethnic traditional practices prevalent among black Africans during that era. Zangaki's lens has immortalized not just two individuals but also an entire population's history and nationality. Through this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving cultural diversity for future generations. Let us cherish this remarkable glimpse into Nubian heritage; let it inspire us to celebrate our own roots while fostering appreciation for others'.
