EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the World Exhibition of 1889, where Javanese dancers from Indonesia were showcased as part of an ethnological exposure. The image, originally taken by Mr. Levy and later engraved in "Le Journal de la jeunesse" in 1889, offers a glimpse into the cultural diversity that was on display during this grand event. The Javanese dancers are seen performing in their traditional kampong attire, adorned with vibrant costumes that reflect the rich heritage of their homeland. Their graceful movements and intricate dance routines captivate viewers, transporting them to a world far removed from their own. At the time, such exhibitions were controversial as they often reduced people from different cultures to mere specimens for observation. This engraving serves as a reminder of how societies once viewed human diversity through an ethnocentric lens. Despite its historical context, this photograph print also highlights the beauty and artistry inherent in Indonesian culture. It celebrates the skill and talent of these Javanese dancers while shedding light on their unique traditions. As we gaze upon this image today, it is crucial to remember our shared humanity and appreciate the richness that comes from embracing diverse cultures rather than exploiting them for entertainment purposes.
