1936 Fort Portal Hoima Native Market Uganda
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Uganda in 1936. The image showcases the bustling native market that once thrived between Hoima and Fort Portal, two vibrant cities of this East African nation. The scene is alive with activity as locals engage in lively conversations, barter for goods, and proudly display their wares. The market square is a melting pot of cultures, where people from different tribes come together to trade an array of products - fruits, vegetables, textiles, pottery, and more. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of daily life during colonial-era Uganda. The women are adorned with colorful traditional garments while balancing baskets on their heads filled with fresh produce. Men can be seen haggling over prices or skillfully crafting handmade items. The atmosphere is brimming with energy and authenticity; it transports us to a bygone era when markets were not only places for commerce but also social gatherings where stories were shared and friendships formed. As we admire this historical gem captured by an unknown photographer nearly a century ago, let's appreciate the rich cultural heritage depicted within its frame. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and vibrancy of Ugandan communities throughout history – preserving traditions that continue to shape the country today.
