Black Girl by Greg Weinstein- Pair D

The contrasting relationship between these two images falls under the conflict of the white race decimating African and/or third world cultures and treating them as a prize or a conquest and the native peoples fight to gain their culture back. In the first picture, the white couple place the mask they were given on a mantle along with the rest of their relics that they had taken. This is contrasted with the other picture as Diouana is fighting with her Madame over the mask, as she has adapted to modern culture, and now she is fighting to gain back her culture and her sense of self. They are also contrasted due to their time placement in the movie. The first picture happens at the beginning of Diouana's work with the couple as she is beginning to see what is going on with their world and then the second picture happens near the end right before Diouana kills herself because she is stuck. She doesn't want to go back to her place and live in a one room hut, nor has her dream worked out the way she wanted. She is still just that woman sitting on the corner waiting for something to happen with the other women, not apart of her culture and not apart of theirs.
