EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bambala Woman: Kwilu River, Congo Free State" by Norman Hardy takes us on a visual journey to the heart of Africa. The image showcases a striking Bambala woman adorned in vibrant colors, her presence exuding strength and resilience. The artist's use of red earth as paint adds an intriguing element to this piece, symbolizing the deep connection between the land and its people. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that thrives along the banks of the Kwilu River in what was then known as Congo Free State. Through this powerful portrayal, we are invited to explore ethnography and appreciate the diversity found within African communities.
