EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, where a thought-provoking ethnographic exhibition of West Africa was held at Champ de Mars in Paris. The image showcases a group of Sudanese women, dressed in traditional attire, residing in the village constructed specifically for this exhibition. The engraving, featured in "La Nature: revue des sciences et de leurs applications aux arts et à l'industrie" on August 17th, 1895, offers us a glimpse into the lives of these women as they go about their daily activities. In this particular scene, we see them gathered around what appears to be a kitchen area engaged in culinary endeavors. This photograph not only captures the essence of African culture but also raises important questions about colonialism and ethnological exposure during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how societies viewed different human species types and highlights the complexities surrounding knowledge exchange between cultures. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to wonder about the stories behind these individuals – their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. This image invites us to reflect upon our shared humanity while acknowledging historical contexts that have shaped our understanding of diversity. Stefano Bianchetti's artistic eye has preserved an important moment from history within this private collection. Through his lens, he allows us to explore themes such as childhood innocence amidst cultural exploration and familial bonds transcending geographical boundaries.
