EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the 27th of February, 1977. In the heart of Kampala, Uganda, we witness a group of resilient women diligently working at a textiles factory. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of African industry during the 1970s. The scene unfolds with an array of sewing machines and machinery that form an intricate production line. These powerful tools are skillfully operated by these remarkable women who have dedicated themselves to their craft. Their expertise is evident as they effortlessly maneuver through fabrics, creating garments that will soon find their way into wardrobes around the world. Despite being small in number, this group exudes strength and unity as they work together towards a common goal - providing for their families and contributing to Uganda's growing textile industry. It is inspiring to witness how these women have defied societal norms by excelling in what was traditionally considered male-dominated labor. Eric Piper's lens captures not only their physical labor but also their determination and resilience. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of female empowerment and showcases how industries thrive when diverse voices are included. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on the countless unsung heroines whose hard work has shaped our society today. May this image forever remind us of the indomitable spirit found within every woman at work across the globe.
