EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning portrait captured by Marco Brivio, a young Himba woman from the Kaokoweld region of Namibia gazes intently off to the side, her expressive face adorned with the intricate patterns and rich red clay of her traditional tribal makeup. The Himba people are an indigenous ethnic group residing primarily in Kaokoland, a semi-arid region in the northwest of the country. Known for their unique cultural practices and distinctive appearance, the Himba have long preserved their traditional way of life, which centers around their connection to the land and their ancestral heritage. The woman's youthful features are accentuated by the contrast between her dark, expressive eyes and the warm, sun-kissed hue of her skin. Her close-up portrait invites the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of her traditional attire, which includes a wraparound skirt made of animal hide and a beaded necklace that frames her neck and collarbone. The delicate, interwoven braids of her hair are held in place by small beads and clay, adding to the overall sense of beauty and tradition. The Kunene River, which runs through the Kaokoweld region, provides the life-giving water that sustains the Himba people and their livestock. The landscape in the background of the photograph, with its rugged terrain and expansive vistas, underscores the connection between the woman and her environment. This powerful image not only showcases the captivating beauty of the Himba people and their culture, but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the rich diversity of indigenous communities around the world.
