  • Salina Cruz, dressing for a Vela, the traditional celebrations of the Zapotecas women of the Istmo de Tehuantepec. When the tehuanas dance floral skirts and huipiles (shirts) transform the track in a sort of magical mobile garden. 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, the donkey utilised by the centurions, the main traditional authorities of the Holy Week, is beated with violence in a symbolic revenge against the "Devils forces" that for days controlled the village. The "Judios" paints their bodies simbolysing  the Evil forces and struggles in the streets looking for Jesus. Coras are a small indigenous people living scattered in the mountains of Sierra Madre Central in Mexican state of Nayarit. The Coras still follows their traditions, protecting in a very strong way their secret rites, that anthropologists believe the most interesting of Central America for their synchretism. The Holy Week, the most important religious event of the year, is characterized with impressive ceremonies. The catholic priest doesn't partecipate and the Black Centurion is the captain of Judea, the ?Jews?, the devil's militia looking for Jesus Christ to kill him. Violence is a essential part of the ceremonies and somebody can be killed in the struggles with wood swords. Today Coras are asking for help from Mexican authorities because the survival of the Holy Week is in danger for dramatic changes in Cora traditional society due to the emigration and drug wars.

Cairo’s ahwa (the traditional coffeehouse) are for Cairo what the pub is to London or caffè to Rome. Once the ahwa was the main place for entairnement, a animated place where Cairo’s men socialised playing chess, backgammon or domino, reading newspapers or watching TV, drinking Turkish coffee and shai (tea) with mint or smoking a sheesha, the tradional waterpipe. Some ahwa are meeting places for people loving chess or remembering famous Egyptian singer Oum Kalthoum. Today Cairo is changed and everybody is just too busy to drink coffee in a ahwa, so western style coffee shops are much more than traditional ahwa.
