EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of unity and joy in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina), in 1939. The scene depicts a group of traditional dancers on their way to participate in a Kolo dance, a collective folk dance that brings together people of various ethnicities, including Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs. Dressed in traditional costumes, the dancers radiate enthusiasm and camaraderie as they prepare to join the larger group. The Kolo dance is a cherished cultural tradition in the Balkans, reflecting the rich history and diversity of the region. The dance involves several dozen people forming a circle and stepping, clapping, and weaving in and out of the circle in a synchronized and rhythmic manner. It is a testament to the enduring power of music and dance to bring people together, transcending political and ethnic divisions. This photograph offers a glimpse into a time when communal celebrations and cultural exchange were a regular part of life in Sarajevo. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of preserving cultural traditions and fostering interfaith and interethnic dialogue and understanding. It serves as a reminder that even in times of political and social upheaval, the human spirit can find solace and connection through shared cultural experiences.
