EDITORS COMMENTS
Locals immerse themselves in the timeless tradition of bathing in the Buriganga River, Dacca, Bangladesh. Terry Fincher's captivating print captures a moment frozen in time - February 1961. As the sun casts its warm glow upon the water, men and women gracefully wade into the river, seeking solace and respite from their daily lives. In this bustling scene from 1960s Asia, boats dotting the river serve as makeshift changing rooms for families who have come to cleanse both body and soul. Children splash joyfully amidst laughter and playful banter while adults engage in animated conversations on these floating sanctuaries. This image not only showcases a communal act of personal hygiene but also sheds light on how rivers like Buriganga served as vital transportation arteries for locals during that era. The river was not merely a source of sustenance; it was an integral part of their everyday life. However, beneath this picturesque surface lies a deeper narrative about sanitation challenges faced by communities along its banks. Despite limited resources or infrastructure at their disposal, these resilient individuals find ways to adapt and thrive amidst adversity. Terry Fincher's evocative photograph transports us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme – where people found beauty even amid modest circumstances. It serves as a poignant reminder that despite societal progress over decades, some traditions remain deeply rooted within our collective memories.
