EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mali Dogon Tribe: A Young Girl Carrying Heavy Item on Her Head" captured by Bernard Morales in the 1990s, we are transported to the heart of Africa. The image showcases a young girl from the Mali Dogon Tribe, gracefully balancing a heavy item atop her head. As we gaze upon this powerful scene, it becomes evident that this photograph is more than just a documentation of physical strength; it encapsulates the essence of culture and tradition. Through her determined expression and unwavering posture, we witness the resilience embedded within her being. The weight she carries symbolizes not only the burden placed upon her shoulders but also represents centuries-old customs passed down through generations. This poignant portrayal sheds light on the rich tapestry of ethnic traditions that have shaped communities like the Mali Dogon Tribe for centuries. Yet amidst our admiration for her strength, there is an undeniable tinge of sadness in her eyes. It serves as a reminder that while these customs may be beautiful and deeply rooted in their heritage, they can also impose hardships on those who bear them. Morales' masterful composition captures both beauty and complexity simultaneously - inviting us to reflect upon our own cultural identities and appreciate how different expressions of strength manifest across diverse societies worldwide.
