I can't stop thinking about that video of cobalt miners in the congo with little to no protective gear struggling to pull other miners out of a collapsing mine
The fact that they're working to death LITERALLY for billion dollar corporations ran by CEOs who get to relax in mansions and on yachts makes my blood boil
“Movement” – a series of photographs by Ethiopian photographer Girma Bert 🇪🇹
In this series, the self-taught photographer sought to capture the soul and energy of African capitals. Using the shutter speed effect, Girma created dynamic portraits of people on bicycles on the streets of Morocco, Uganda, Mali and other African countries.
“My style of photography aims to capture the unique energy and personality of the people living in Africa. I'm particularly drawn to the vibrant atmosphere of big cities, where people from all walks of life come together,” says Burt.
The clear yet colorful language with which Achebe tells this story is one of the reasons why this book is a classic and a must read for anyone interested in exploring the effects colonial rule had on African tradition. His characters, even the minor ones, are so vivid and well developed. We get to explore the intricacy, beauty and wisdom of the Igbo culture which makes us feel its loss through colonial oppression all the more.
