Description:
Ouidah, Benin. Slave Route. An alley in the historic quarter, running between two rows of ochre-plastered buildings topped with corrugated metal roofing edged in red. The perspective narrows toward a large bare-branched tree standing against the blue dry-season sky. Midway down the alley, a human silhouette moves quietly near a doorway. This seemingly ordinary scene — packed sand underfoot, vernacular architecture, harsh equatorial light — takes on particular resonance in Ouidah, a city of memory where every alley bears the silent imprint of centuries of history.
