EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Canton. Fishing on a junk of the 'Tankia', ethnic minorities of the south China" taken by Quilici, Folco in 1977, we are transported to the bustling waters of Canton. The image showcases a scene that seems frozen in time, capturing both the essence of traditional fishing practices and the cultural diversity found within this region. A majestic junk boat dominates the foreground, its weathered wooden structure standing proudly against the backdrop of calm waters. This vessel serves as a testament to centuries-old maritime traditions passed down through generations. Its sails billow gracefully in the wind, guiding it towards an unknown destination while symbolizing resilience and adaptability. Perched atop this magnificent ship are members of the Tankia ethnic minority group from southern China. Dressed in their vibrant traditional attire, they exude a sense of pride and unity as they engage in their daily fishing routine. Their expertise is evident; each movement is deliberate and precise as they cast their nets into the water below. The composition beautifully captures not only their physical labor but also reveals glimpses into their lives - stories etched upon weathered faces tell tales of hardship endured with unwavering determination. As we observe them at work, one cannot help but feel connected to these individuals who have dedicated themselves to preserving age-old customs amidst an ever-changing world. Quilici's lens transports us back to a simpler time when communities relied on nature's abundance for sustenance while celebrating cultural heritage with every catch hauled onto deck. It reminds us that even amid modernization and globalization, there exist pockets where tradition thrives against all odds. This remarkable photograph stands as a timeless tribute to both human resilience and cultural diversity – an exquisite reminder that our shared humanity transcends borders and connects us all through our collective history.
