EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tender moment in the lives of basket makers residing in Djibouti, the provincial capital of French Somaliland. Taken by General Photographic Agency in 1977, it showcases a family outside their humble abode - a tent ingeniously crafted from animal skin. The image portrays an intimate scene where both male and female members of the family are engaged in their craft. The skilled hands of the adults deftly weave intricate patterns into baskets, while the youth observe attentively, learning this traditional art form that has been passed down through generations. The backdrop of poverty is evident as we glimpse into their domestic life within a poor quarter of Djibouti. However, despite their circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of unity and resilience emanating from this close-knit family. Their determination to sustain themselves through their craftsmanship speaks volumes about their resourcefulness and strength. Djibouti itself holds historical significance as it was declared an independent country recognized by the United Nations in 1977 – a milestone captured subtly within this frame. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into African culture but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity amidst adversity. Preserved with care by Fine Art Storehouse, this landscape-format print invites viewers to reflect upon the beauty found within everyday moments and appreciate the rich tapestry woven by different cultures across our diverse world.
