The Xingu Indigenous Park (Parque Indígena do Xingu - PIX) is a protected area in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, created in 1961. It is home to approximately 6,000 people from 16 different ethnic groups, including the Kamayurá, Kuikuro, Yawalapiti, Wauja, Ikpeng, Suyá, Kayapó, and others. For centuries, these peoples have preserved rich, distinct cultures, languages, and social structures, with their own traditions, rituals, and ways of life. The Upper Xingu region, in particular, is known for its complex inter-tribal system and shared rituals.
The photographs in this collection offer a unique perspective on the daily lives, rituals, and interactions of the Xingu people. These images not only showcase the beauty and resilience of these communities but also provide a window into their struggles, traditions, and ways of life.
The Xingu Indigenous Territory, located in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, is one of the most culturally significant regions in South America. Home to sixteen different ethnic groups, including the Kuikuro, Kalapalo, and Kamaiurá, the Xingu is a living testament to ancestral traditions that have survived for millennia.
