Abstract

The propose of this photo essay is to fully contemplate the paradoxical characteristic of the Zapatist indigenous faces covered by the pasamontañas. What do they allow us to uncover and what those insurgent stares can show us? As in a mirror – in which we can see them and, at the same time, see ourselves – what do we see? What other perspectives of the world can we perceive through the eyes on those dignified faces wich, for more than two decades, are between the fire and the words to buid processes of political and social autonomy?
