The photograph depicts Tuareg woman wearing traditional long dark cloth and man wearing turban and face veil (tagelmust) made of indigo-dyed cloth. "While men's face veiling and women's headscarves fulfill Islamic requirements of modesty, they are also symbols of the Tuareg cultural value of reserve. These headdresses are directly linked to concepts of the person and to changes in an individual's status throughout his or her life (Rasmussen 1992: 101)." [Arnoldi M., 1995: Wrapping the Head, Crowning Achievements, UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History].

Scope and Contents:

"A more organized 'conversation' with an audience is called a 'tende'. It is a spontaneous event. It may occur during a wedding or at a child's christening or when a person returns from a long absence or when there is a visitor. Usually an elderly woman starts a tende by bringing a wooden mortar, filling it with water, and covering it with a skin. This is the drum. The women rhytmically drum the most famous melodies, clap their hands, and sing while the men listen, speak, and recite poems. Sometimes young men take the initiative and show off with their camels. The tende can last for hours until the women who started it decide it is time for sleep. When these meetings are larger and more formal, they are called 'ahal'." [Castelli Gattinara G., 2006: Poetry as a Reflection of Tuareg Cultural Values and Identities; Art of Being Tuareg. UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History].

The photograph depicts Tuareg man wearing turban and face veil (tagelmust) made of indigo-dyed cloth. "While men's face veiling and women's headscarves fulfill Islamic requirements of modesty, they are also symbols of the Tuareg cultural value of reserve. These headdresses are directly linked to concepts of the person and to changes in an individual's status throughout his or her life (Rasmussen 1992: 101)." [Arnoldi M., 1995: Wrapping the Head, Crowning Achievements, UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Westinghouse Film and traveled to Africa from October 26, 1970 to end of March 1971.

"A more organized 'conversation' with an audience is called a 'tende'. It is a spontaneous event. It may occur during a wedding or at a child's christening or when a person returns from a long absence or when there is a visitor. Usually an elderly woman starts a tende by bringing a wooden mortar, filling it with water, and covering it with a skin. This is the drum. The women rhytmically drum the most famous melodies, clap their hands, and sing while the men listen, speak, and recite poems. Sometimes young men take the initiative and show off with their camels. The tende can last for hours until the women who started it decide it is time for sleep. When these meetings are larger and more formal, they are called 'ahal'."
