Elvira, Beatriz, Teresa and Emson. Mitú, Vaupes. A selection of images from ‘Mythscapes’ - an ongoing project in Colombia. Featured in Acne Papers @acnestudios Issue 16, 2021. Mythscapes focuses on the relationship between humans and their environment in two areas along the Amazon River basin: the Cerros de Mavecure on the Inírida River, and Mitú on the Vaupés River. One of the most isolated cities of Colombia, Mitú accounts for an out- standing ethnic diversity, hosting twenty-six different communities of ancestral indigenous origin, each speaking a different dialect. The Cerros de Mavecure, three hills sacred to the Puinave and Curripaco Indians, are the setting for countless stories related to the crea- tion history and origins of indigenous culture. Unforgettably, both Mavecure and Mitú remain tragic historic sites of the exploitation of rubber and the brutal enslavement of the indigenous population. Text by @sophiestrobele
