EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Liba Taylor, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Kampala, Uganda. The image captures a group of men engrossed in an intense board game of mweso, also known as omweso or mbao. As they huddle together on the bustling street corner, their animated expressions and focused gazes reveal the sheer joy and competitive spirit that fills their leisurely activity. The intricate 8x4 board becomes a centerpiece for communal engagement and intellectual stimulation. Mweso is not just a mere pastime; it holds cultural significance within African communities as a means of social bonding and strategic thinking. Through this ancient mancala game, these men forge connections with one another while sharpening their minds. Taylor's photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of Africa's rich tapestry of people and leisure activities. It serves as a reminder that amidst daily routines and urban chaos, there exists moments where individuals find solace in simple pleasures like playing games with friends. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the laughter echoing through the air mingling with sounds of passing traffic. It is an invitation to witness humanity at its purest form - united by shared experiences regardless of background or circumstance.
