EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the International Exhibition held in Amiens, France, in 1906. The exhibition showcased various examples of cultures and traditions from around the world, and this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Senegalese people. In the foreground, a woman is intently focused on the task at hand, using a large pestle and mortar to grind ingredients for a traditional Senegalese dish. The giant mortar, a common feature in West African cooking, is a testament to the communal nature of food preparation in these communities. The hut in the background, with its thatched roof and simple design, serves as a reminder of the distinct indigenous architecture of Senegal. The scene demonstrates the rich cultural heritage of the Senegalese people and the importance of food in their society. The processes of cooking and pounding grains or spices were essential skills passed down from generation to generation, and this photograph offers a window into the past. The International Exhibition provided a platform for the world to learn about and appreciate the diverse culinary traditions of different regions, including Senegal. This image is a poignant reminder of the value of cultural exchange and the enduring power of food to bring people together.
