Video Still Description: A close-up stadium shot at the 1991 Eritrean Independence Festival in Bologna, Italy. The stadium is packed and made up of Eritrean adults of different genders and ages. The footage is blurry and faces can’t be made out. The shot is filled with warm tones, with the exception of a few dark green, black, and blue blotches. The whites of peoples’ clothing is registering a warm, lavender pink, softening the entire frame. A number of elders are wearing ntselas (a traditional, white, cotton shawl) while the rest of the crowd is dressed in western, casual wear. In the middle of the crowd is a baby blue stroller with a toddler sitting up in it.
