EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Brian Moser, we are transported to the enchanting world of the Tukano Indigenous People in the North West Amazon. The image showcases a Barasana woman named Paulina as she meticulously applies vibrant red ochote fruit body paint to her arms and upper body in preparation for a momentous manioc festival. Paulina's hands already bear a striking dark purple hue, achieved through dye extracted from boiled leaves. As we observe her delicate yet purposeful movements, it becomes evident that every stroke of color holds deep cultural significance for this sedentary Indian tribe residing in the heart of North Western Amazonia. The photograph not only celebrates the artistry and beauty of Tukano body decoration but also provides us with an intimate glimpse into their rich heritage. Paulina's presence radiates strength and grace, embodying the spirit of generations past while embracing her own identity as an American Colombian Hispanic woman. This powerful visual narrative reminds us of the diversity that exists within Latin America and South America, shedding light on indigenous communities often overlooked or misunderstood. Through Moser's lens, we are invited to appreciate both the individuality and collective spirit present among these resilient people during their joyous festivals.
