EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Lower Juba. Fabda. Women at a well during the drought period" captures a poignant moment in time in Somalia's Lower Juba region. Taken by renowned photographer Quilici, Folco in 1972, this image transports us to an era marked by severe drought and its devastating impact on local communities. In the midst of this parched landscape, we see a group of women gathered around a well, their resilience shining through their weary eyes and weathered faces. Their traditional attire reflects both cultural heritage and practicality as they navigate the challenges brought about by the prolonged dry spell. The composition of the photograph is strikingly beautiful yet hauntingly somber. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the harshness of their reality. One can almost feel the weight of their daily struggle for survival as they patiently wait for precious water to quench not only their own thirst but also that of their families. This image serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's ability to endure even amidst adversity. It highlights how basic necessities such as water become scarce during times of drought, forcing communities to come together in search of sustenance. Quilici's masterful capture freezes this fleeting moment forever, allowing viewers to reflect upon our shared responsibility towards those affected by natural disasters like droughts. It prompts us to question how we can contribute towards building more resilient societies that are better equipped to face such challenges head-on. As we gaze into this remarkable photograph from Alinari's collection, let it serve as an inspiration for compassion and action – reminding us that even small gestures can make a significant difference when faced with overwhelming circumstances like those endured by these brave women at that very well in Lower Juba so many years ago.
