Filmmaker/Photographer/Writer Marcelo Fortaleza Flores writes about this photo and his work:
"I have been teaching photography and filmmaking (Digital Media) to Amazonian indigenous peoples as well as to disenfranchised children in Africa since 1995. In this photograph, we see Yanahin Wauja, an indigenous photographer and cameraman I trained in the Xingu Park in Brazil, filming a rehearsal for the representation of a Wauja ritual mask dance in Montpellier, France in 2005. The representation was sponsored by the new ethnographic Musée du Quai Branly as part of the Year of Brazil in France. Yanahin and I are co-directors in a joint project about the Wauja mask dance and its representation in Western cultures. A recent publication in the review Gradhiva in France features two excellent photographs by Yanahin."
