EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Peru's rich cultural heritage. The Santo Domingo Catholic Church stands proudly, showcasing its magnificent Spanish colonial doorway that exudes an air of grandeur and history. However, what truly makes this image remarkable is the remnant of a wall from the Incan Temple of the Moon that still stands beside the church. Dating back to around 1900, this photograph transports us to a time when ancient civilizations coexisted with European influences in Cuzco, Peru. It serves as a visual testament to the merging of two distinct worlds - one steeped in indigenous traditions and spirituality, represented by the remnants of an Incan temple; and another symbolizing colonization and religious conversion through the imposing presence of a Catholic church. The juxtaposition between these elements invites contemplation on how different cultures can intertwine and shape each other over time. It reminds us that history is not linear but rather a complex tapestry woven together by various threads. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to turn-of-the-century Peru, where native American roots collided with Spanish colonialism. We are reminded of both resilience and transformation as well as our shared human experience across centuries and continents.
