EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "20078311" captures the essence of Nigeria's rich cultural heritage. The image showcases a traditional mud Hausa dwelling in Kano, with its distinctive architectural style standing proudly against the backdrop of an urban landscape. As we gaze upon this scene, our attention is immediately drawn to a young child standing just outside the doorway, their arms outstretched towards the sky in a gesture that exudes innocence and curiosity. The child's presence adds an element of liveliness to this otherwise still frame, reminding us of the vibrant energy that permeates African communities. Meanwhile, a man can be seen entering through the open doorway – perhaps returning home after a long day or embarking on another adventure within these ancient walls. Val and Alan Wilkinson have masterfully captured not only the physical structure but also the spirit of this traditional dwelling. Their keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate both the intricate craftsmanship involved in constructing such homes and their significance as symbols of cultural identity. Through this photograph, we are transported into Nigeria's past while simultaneously witnessing its present – where tradition intertwines with modernity. It serves as a reminder that despite rapid urbanization and globalization, there are places where time seems to stand still; where children play freely amidst structures steeped in history. "20078311" by Val and Alan Wilkinson is more than just an image; it is a testament to Africa's enduring architectural beauty and its people who continue to embrace their roots even as they navigate contemporary life.
