Diagonal of the game (Tanzania, Zanzibar)

In Stone Town , children occupy the public space like a playground. Sitting on a baraza , a stone bench typical of Swahili architecture, two of them share a quiet moment, while another, broom in hand, crosses the field. The white of the chokaa , the traditional lime covering the coral stone walls, captures the tropical light. On the ground, an abandoned flip-flop. Between a Chelsea football shirt, Rastafarian influences and vernacular textures, the scene bears witness to Zanzibari daily life, shaped by cultural circulations , objects from the mitumba market (second-hand clothing), and coastal architecture.
