EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a woman from Ankara, Turkey, circa mid 1920s. Dressed in traditional Islamic attire, she wears a hijab, a headscarf, and a jilbab, a long, loose-fitting garment that covers the body from head to toe. The intricate patterns of the Ankara fabric, a distinctive textile originating from Central Anatolia in Turkey, add a vibrant touch to her modest attire. The woman's expression is serene and contemplative, her eyes downcast, as she sits in a dimly lit room. The plain, rustic background emphasizes the simplicity and authenticity of her appearance, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The 1920s were a period of significant change in Turkish history, marked by the establishment of the modern Turkish Republic under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. One of Atatürk's reforms was the promotion of a secular and Westernized society, which led to the gradual abandonment of traditional Islamic dress. However, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and religious traditions that continue to shape the identity of Turkey and its people. The photograph is a poignant testament to the enduring resilience of traditional practices in the face of modernization, and a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations. It invites us to reflect on the complex and nuanced relationship between religion, identity, and modernity in Turkey and beyond.
