Exploring the rich traditions of body paint: From the Mursi tribe's intricate designs to young Maasai girls adorning their faces with ochre, these ancient practices tell stories of culture and identity. Unveiling a world beyond stereotypes, we delve into the misunderstood history of cannibals and discover how body paint was used by generations of warriors to intimidate foes. Journeying to India's Allahabad, we witness a close-up of a painted elephant during Holi 2014, where vibrant colors unite communities in celebration.
