EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lower Juba. Afmadu. 'Arganti' hunters during the chase of a lone elephant. A danger for the village" we are transported to a remote village in Somalia's Lower Juba region, back in 1972. The image captures a moment filled with both awe and trepidation as a group of courageous "Arganti" hunters embark on an extraordinary pursuit of a solitary elephant. With spears held high and determination etched on their faces, these skilled individuals demonstrate their deep connection with nature and their commitment to protecting their village from potential harm. The vastness of the African landscape serves as an evocative backdrop, emphasizing the magnitude of this dangerous endeavor. The arid terrain stretches endlessly into the horizon, mirroring the challenges faced by these brave hunters who navigate through unforgiving conditions to safeguard their community. Folco Quilici's masterful composition allows us to witness not only the physical prowess required for such an undertaking but also offers insight into the complex relationship between humans and wildlife in this region. It reminds us that coexistence is often fraught with risks, where survival depends on striking a delicate balance between respect for nature's majesty and ensuring human safety. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative - one that speaks volumes about resilience, unity, and mankind's eternal struggle against adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within seemingly insurmountable challenges lies an unwavering spirit determined to protect what matters most – our communities and our shared home on Earth.
