As his new exhibition opens in London, Nachson Mimran talks about his photos of tribesmen in Kenya, creative activists in action on refugee camps, and more
One of Mimran’s favourite images in the collection is a portrait of the leader of the Sápara Nation in the Amazon, Manari Ushigua. Wearing a traditional Indigenous headdress, Manari raises a fist to the camera, looking both calm and defiant. “This photo was taken a few hours after my morning bath in the river, where I had seen an anaconda, and I remember Manari telling me right away, don’t worry, she ate already.
The particular Togetherband he had on symbolised goal number seven: clean, affordable energy for all. “It was by chance that I was wearing that one and, you know, it couldn’t be more fit for Manari because obviously Manari fights against extractive industries in the Amazon… and so you know, I put this bracelet on him and immediately he just put his hand up and said, ‘I’m with goal number seven. This is one of the most important things for the Amazon.
