History

  • The image shows a person walking through the entrance of "Cimetière Militaire de Thiaroye," a military cemetery. The archway is prominently displayed, with the name of the cemetery written above. On either side of the entrance, there are colorful flags painted on the walls. The person in the foreground is carrying a large container on their head, and the scene is partly illuminated by natural light, surrounded by palm trees and greenery. The sky is overcast, giving a muted ambiance to the setting. Thiaroye 1944. The Final Shadows of a Colonial Massacre Clair Rivière · November 2024
  • The image features a series of large stone sculptures arranged in a row, resembling human figures. These sculptures have distinct, elongated shapes and facial features, with some appearing to look downward. The background includes a grassy area and a hillside, with trees visible nearby. The sky above is clear, transitioning from blue to lighter tones as it approaches the horizon, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The overall atmosphere gives a sense of mystery and historical significance to the figures. Howard W. French. “Africans were at the heart of the bulding of our modern world” Victoria Brittain · October 2024
  • The image depicts a historical scene likely from a public event or rally. In the foreground, two men are engaging in conversation; one is dressed in a military uniform, while the other wears a military-style jacket with insignia. They both seem to be smiling and interacting positively. Behind them, a crowd of people of various ages is visible, with many holding flags and displaying enthusiastic gestures. The atmosphere appears lively, suggesting a moment of celebration or political significance. The image is in black and white, adding to its historical context. “The forces that were arrayed against Thomas Sankara were too much” Victoria Brittain · October 2024
  • The image appears to show two historical figures in front of a background featuring industrial equipment, likely related to mining or construction. One figure is depicted in black and white, dressed in traditional attire, while the other is shown in color, wearing a military uniform and a distinctive hat. The setting suggests a focus on industrial development or political themes, potentially highlighting a historical connection between these individuals.
