These images are part of a documentation that I have been conducting, produced at one of Brazil’s largest indigenous celebrations. They use to take place in Bertioga, a city just over 100 kilometers from São Paulo, the largest city in South America. The encounter brings together nearly 600 representatives from many distant regions of Brazil to celebrate in a large cultural festival. It is a spectacle at which they present and reinforce the traditions of their different native ethnic groups.
