  • Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Iguanas, especially in Juchitàn, ia a symbolic animal for religion, tradition and also a very popular food. The tehuanas are the archetype of an ancient and legendary Mexico, told in the murales of Diego Rivera and impersonated also by Frida Kalho that often wore these traditional dresses. But these showy dresses, and the rich golden ornaments that accompany them, are above all an instrument of auto-representatiom for these active women which the control of the local markets confers an independent economic power that is reflected in the self confidence. Even in the development of the festivities, where the women often dance a lot among them while the men remain seated watching.

  • Holy Week. Good Friday. The most spectacular Holy Week throughout Latin America, a sort of time machine to find an ancient Spain, where roman soldiers with the faces of Maya peasants interpret for days a choral rite alive in the collective memory as a matter of chronicle. In theatrical scenery of Antigua, between colonial palaces and Baroque churches uncovered by frequent earthquakes and eruptions of nearby volcanoes, processions come one after the other in an increasingly spasmodic crescendo until Holy Friday. From dawn to sunset for thousands of penitents, curucuchos rigorously dressed in purple, is a privilege, often passed down from father to son, to load on the shoulders heavy groups of statues with Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary.

The tehuanas of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec are the archetype of an ancient and legendary Mexico, told in the murales of Diego Rivera and impersonated also by Frida Kalho that often wore these traditional dresses. But these showy dresses, and the rich golden ornaments that accompany them, are above all an instrument of auto-representation for these active women which the control of the local markets confers an independent economic power that is reflected in the self confidence. Even in the development of the festivities, where the women often dance a lot among them while the men remain seated watching.
