EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Colonial Exhibition in Lourenco Marques, now known as Maputo, Mozambique. The year is circa 1910, and the scene is bustling with activity as visitors explore the various pavilions showcasing trade and industry in Portuguese East Africa.
The architecture of the buildings reflects the colonial influence on this African city, with grand structures standing tall against the backdrop of a clear sky. Flags flutter in the breeze, representing different nations involved in this exhibition of cultural exchange.
In contrast to these modern buildings are traditional straw huts scattered throughout the exhibition grounds, serving as a reminder of Mozambique's rich heritage and history. These huts stand as symbols of resilience and tradition amidst a rapidly changing landscape.
As visitors wander through the pavilions, they are transported to a world where commerce meets culture, where innovation meets tradition. The Colonial Exhibition serves as a microcosm of colonialism's impact on East Africa - both positive and negative - encapsulating an era marked by exploration, exploitation, and exchange.
This print is not just a snapshot from history; it is a window into a complex past that continues to shape our present. It invites us to reflect on our shared global history while also celebrating the diversity and resilience of Mozambique's people.
