EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pilar Olivares, we are transported to the village of Huilloc in Cuzco, Peru. The image showcases a group of Andean girls dressed in traditional Inca clothes, their vibrant garments reflecting the rich cultural heritage they proudly carry. Engrossed in their artistic pursuits, these young girls diligently draw a llama on paper within the confines of their school. Huilloc is nestled amidst the majestic Andes Mountains and is renowned for its expertise in hand-made weavings. This small community serves as a hub for preserving ancient traditions and craftsmanship passed down through generations. The school depicted here caters to approximately 170 students from both Huilloc and neighboring highlands who come together to receive education. The photograph encapsulates not only the innocence and curiosity of childhood but also highlights the importance placed on education within this tight-knit community. These young minds are nurtured with knowledge while simultaneously being encouraged to celebrate their cultural roots. Pilar Olivares skillfully captures this moment frozen in time, allowing us to witness firsthand how tradition seamlessly intertwines with modern-day learning experiences. Through her lens, we gain insight into the lives of these Andean girls as they embrace both their heritage and aspirations for a brighter future.
