EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Italian occupation of Ethiopia in 1935. The image shows a group of Ethiopian natives, mostly women and children, gathered around a makeshift screen, intently watching an Italian propaganda film. The scene unfolds in a dusty, open-air setting, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground. The Italian Fascist regime, under the leadership of Benito Mussolini, had invaded Ethiopia in October 1935, marking the beginning of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. The invasion was met with fierce resistance from the Ethiopian army and people, but the superior Italian military technology and manpower eventually led to the Ethiopian defeat in May 1936. The Italian regime sought to justify its invasion and colonization of Ethiopia through propaganda, which was disseminated through various channels, including films. These films portrayed the Italians as the saviors of the Ethiopian people, who were depicted as backward and in need of Italian civilization. The photograph offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics of power and resistance during the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian natives, despite their subjugation, are shown asserting their agency by actively engaging with the Italian propaganda films. Their intent gaze suggests that they are not passive consumers of the Italian narrative but are instead interpreting and making meaning of the images they see. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex and nuanced ways in which colonial powers sought to assert control over colonized peoples and the ways in which those peoples resisted and responded to that control. It is also a testament to the enduring power of visual media in shaping perceptions and shaping history.
