Wayuu indigenous man - Limited Edition of 10 Print

The Wayúu is a traditional, historical, indigenous community who are known as the people of the sun, sand, and wind, They live in the La Guajira peninsula, a desert area in the northeast of Colombia. Between a lack of drinking water, the extractive industry, wind farms, and the humanitarian crisis, the Wayúu survive despite dispossession and food insecurity. In recent times, violence caused by the militarization of the region and the territorial disputes between paramilitary groups, smugglers, drug traffickers, and the illegal trade in fuel has only added to the problem.
