EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Brian Moser showcases the rich cultural heritage and traditional practices of the Tukano Indigenous People in Colombia's North West Amazon region. In the image, we see a Makuna man named Venancio with his face adorned in dark red ochote paint, meticulously picking coca leaves in his family's chagra cultivation plot. The Tukano Makuna Indians have inhabited this lush corner of South America for centuries, relying on agriculture as their primary means of sustenance. This photograph beautifully captures their deep connection to the land and their commitment to preserving age-old traditions. Venancio's striking appearance reflects not only his tribal identity but also serves as a symbol of pride and reverence for nature. The vibrant red ochote paint is believed to possess spiritual powers that protect against evil spirits and ensure a bountiful harvest. As he carefully selects each coca leaf, Venancio demonstrates the dedication and hard work required to maintain these ancestral farming practices. His expertise contributes to sustaining both his family's livelihood and the broader community. Brian Moser skillfully captures this intimate moment, allowing us a glimpse into an ancient way of life that continues to thrive amidst modern challenges. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength embodied by indigenous cultures across Latin America.
