EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases the Shulluk girls of South Sudan as they gracefully carry large woven baskets on their heads along the banks of the White Nile. The Shulluk people, also known as the Shilluk or the Choli, are an ethnic group residing in the southern region of Sudan, primarily in the area surrounding the White Nile. The Shulluk women are renowned for their intricate basket weaving skills, which have been passed down through generations. These baskets, made from local materials such as palm leaves and raffia, are an essential part of their daily lives. They are used to carry water, grain, and other essential items, making the girls' ability to balance these large loads on their heads a testament to their strength and resilience. The Shulluk people have a rich cultural heritage, with a strong connection to the White Nile and its surrounding wetlands. Their society is matrilineal, meaning that property and social status are passed down through the female line. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women and their community, showcasing their strength, grace, and the beauty of their traditional practices. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of the Shulluk people and their deep connection to their land and culture. It is a testament to their resilience and the importance of preserving the unique traditions and customs of communities like the Shulluk.
