Aujourd’hui on a l’impression que nous sommes tous connectés. La démocratisation et la diffusion des technologies ou de produits culturels communs nous font oublier qu’il existe encore sur la planète certaines tribus qui ont décidé de vivre à l’écart de notre société moderne. Des communautés perpétuent encore des traditions parfois très anciennes et développent leur propre culture. Le photojournaliste britannique, Jimmy Nelson, a pour but de traverser le monde pour rencontrer ces tribus reculées et partage leurs histoires notamment sur Instagram. Son objectif est vraiment d’offrir à ces peuples la possibilité de partager leurs cultures. De plus, il complète souvent ses posts avec une brève présentation de ces tribus. Voici un aperçu du travail de ce photographe.

The temperature on the tropical Marquesas remains a fairly constant 27 degrees Celsius. The humid rainforests are home to many plants and animals that are unique to the area. Traditionally, women of the island wear the ower on one ear to show their marital status: right for married, left for single. Te Pua O Feani, Atuona, Hiva Oa | 2016 #HomageToHumanity

If a Huli woman is widowed, she transforms herself into a ghost-like figure, covering her whole body with white and grey clay and swathing herself in a net. She does so to hide from her husband’s spirit, out of a belief that if she is un-recognizable to the souls of the ancestors she will be able to find another husband and remarry. Grieving women also wear necklaces made of seeds. Each week they remove a number of seeds until they are all gone, a point which marks the end of the period of mourning. .

Very honoured to announce that today, as part of the International Folk Art Market (@ifam), works will be exhibited in @donnakaranthewoman 's Urban Zen Studio @urbanzen . . 6 – 29 December | Urban Zen 705 Greenwich St, NYC | . Kalulis wear an elaborate traditional costume during festivities. The most impressive element is the headpiece, with its huge fan of white feathers from cockatoos hunted by their ancestors. .
