EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of nomadic women from the Ghardaia region of Algeria during the 1910s. The women, dressed in traditional clothing, are seated at their campsite, surrounded by their children and the essential tools for their nomadic existence. In their hands, they hold large mortars and pestles, meticulously mincing grains to prepare a meal for their families. The scene exudes a sense of community and resilience as the women work together, passing the mortars and pestles between them. The children, curious and engaged, observe their mothers with wide eyes, learning the skills and traditions that have been passed down through generations. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the nomadic peoples of North Africa, and the importance of family and community in their way of life. The arid landscape in the background serves as a reminder of the challenging conditions these women faced, yet their determination and resourcefulness shine through in this powerful and poignant image.
