EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the mystical world of Whirling Dervishes. Published in Barcelona in 1880, this image from El Mundo Ilustrado transports us to a time when Islamic traditions were celebrated with fervor and devotion. The photograph captures a group of dervishes engaged in their sacred ritual known as dhikr or zikr. With their long flowing robes and tall conical hats, they spin gracefully, lost in a trance-like state. Their whirling movements symbolize an ecstatic journey towards spiritual enlightenment and union with God. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing illustration, we are reminded of the rich heritage of Sufism within Islam. The Mevlevi Order, also known as Mawlawi or Mevlevilik, is renowned for its practice of remembrance through music and dance. Originating from Turkey, these Turkish dervishes have become synonymous with the artistry of whirling. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to witness not only the physical beauty but also the deep spiritual significance behind this ancient tradition. It serves as a reminder that faith can be expressed through various forms and rituals across different cultures. Let this evocative print transport you to another era where spirituality intertwines with artistry – an invitation to explore the depths of one's soul through movement and devotion.
