EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Industrial zone with women at work, Bombay" takes us back to the bustling streets of 1965 India. The image captures a group of hardworking women in an industrial area, their faces reflecting determination and resilience. The scene is set against a backdrop of towering factories and warehouses, symbolizing the rapid growth of Bombay's industrial sector during that era. These brave women are seen engaged in various tasks, showcasing their indispensable contribution to the workforce. Their presence challenges traditional gender roles as they confidently navigate through what was predominantly considered male-dominated territory. A truck parked on the road serves as a reminder of the importance of transportation in this thriving industrial hub. It represents not only a means for goods to be transported but also signifies progress and connectivity within this dynamic cityscape. One woman stands out from the group; she holds a basket filled with objects that remain unidentified yet evoke curiosity about her role within this industrious environment. Perhaps she carries tools or supplies necessary for her trade, highlighting her resourcefulness and adaptability. This photograph provides valuable insights into Indian society at that time – its diverse population comprising Indians from different regions along with Asiatic communities who contributed significantly to its cultural fabric. Through anthropology, ethnography, and folklore lenses, it offers glimpses into the lives and experiences of these individuals who played integral roles in shaping Bombay's identity. Quilici Folco's masterful composition transports viewers back in time while simultaneously reminding us of the timeless strength exhibited by women throughout history. This remarkable piece invites contemplation on themes such as gender equality, labor rights, urbanization dynamics, and societal transformations brought about by industrialization - all encapsulated within one powerful frame captured half a century ago.
