EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Andy Buchanan, a festival-goer at the Glastonbury Festival of Music and Performing Arts proudly displays her support for Europe. On day three of the festival, amidst the picturesque backdrop of Worthy Farm in Somerset, South West England, she stands out with a European flag painted on her face. This image serves as a powerful symbol during a time when Britain was grappling with its decision to leave the European Union. The Brexit referendum had just taken place days before this photograph was taken on June 24,2016. It showcases how even in an entertainment-filled event like Glastonbury, political discussions were impossible to escape. The festival atmosphere is palpable through this vertical shot - vibrant colors and joyful expressions fill every corner. Yet it is this festival-goer's bold statement that steals the spotlight. Her choice to display solidarity with Europe amidst uncertainty reflects both passion and defiance. Buchanan's lens captures not only an individual but also a collective sentiment shared by many who attended Glastonbury that year. This image encapsulates how music festivals can become platforms for social and political expression beyond their primary purpose of entertainment. Through his skillful composition, Buchanan immortalizes a moment frozen in time – one that represents unity among diverse cultures while acknowledging the challenges faced by Britain during those turbulent times surrounding Brexit.
