EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Daniel Hayduk, we are transported to Jaws Corner in Stone Town, Zanzibar on March 19,2016. The image depicts a man engrossed in his phone amidst the vibrant atmosphere of this historical location. As he checks his device, one can't help but wonder what news or messages he is receiving and how they may be connected to the upcoming repeat elections. Zanzibar finds itself at a crucial juncture as it prepares for these elections despite an opposition boycott triggered by the controversial decision to annul October's vote. This political backdrop adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the scene unfolding before us. Jaws Corner serves as a hub for locals and tourists alike, where animated discussions take place over cups of spiced tea or coffee. It is here that ideas are exchanged freely and opinions flow like waves crashing against the shore. Hayduk's photograph beautifully captures both the timeless essence of Stone Town and its contemporary reality. The juxtaposition between tradition and modernity is evident as this individual engages with technology while surrounded by rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded that even in seemingly ordinary moments such as checking our phones, there lies a deeper narrative waiting to unfold – one that intertwines personal connections with larger societal events shaping our world today.
