EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant and intricate masks of carnival and ceremonies of the Tecunas, an indigenous tribe in Brazil. Taken in 1867 near the Peruvian border, this image showcases the rich cultural traditions and customs of the Tecunas people.
The detailed engravings on the masks reflect a deep connection to their heritage and history, as well as their unique artistic expression. The women wearing these masks exude a sense of mystery and tradition, adding to the allure of this ancient ritual.
As they parade through Calderao, it is evident that these celebrations are not just for entertainment but serve as a way to honor their ancestors and preserve their cultural identity. The costumes worn by the participants further emphasize their connection to nature and spirituality.
Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and complexity of indigenous Brazilian culture. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving traditional practices and celebrating diversity in our world today.
Jaime Abecasis has masterfully captured this moment in history with his black-and-white engraving, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and significance behind each mask worn by these Tecunas women. This image is truly a testament to the resilience and creativity of indigenous communities across South America.
