EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and thought-provoking image captured in 1901, we see If Abd-el-Kerim-Ben-Sliman, the Moroccan Foreign Minister and Head of the Moroccan Embassy in France, bowing to the tricolor flag of the fourth colonial regiment. Dressed in traditional Arabic attire, he salutes the French flag with a mix of salute, respect, and submission.
This photograph encapsulates a complex moment in history marked by colonialism and integration. The act of Abd-el-Kerim-Ben-Sliman bowing to the French flag symbolizes a blend of cultural identities and power dynamics at play during that time.
The juxtaposition of his traditional djellaba against the backdrop of the French tricolor flag speaks volumes about the complexities of colonization and diplomacy. It raises questions about loyalty, identity, and agency within a colonial context.
As we reflect on this image today, it serves as a reminder of past struggles for independence and sovereignty. It prompts us to consider how different cultures interacted under colonial rule and how individuals navigated these complex relationships.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation but also an invitation to delve deeper into historical narratives surrounding imperialism, nationalism, and resistance. It challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths about our shared past while also acknowledging moments of resilience and dignity amidst challenging circumstances.
