In this vibrant and captivating photo print, we are transported to the heart of Colombia's largest festivity in the south-western region of the country - the Blacks and Whites Carnival. Taken by renowned photographer Luis Robayo, this image captures a reveler immersed in the enchanting atmosphere of the "White Day" parade on January 6,2014. The carnival is an explosion of colors, music, and traditions that celebrates Colombia's rich cultural heritage. UNESCO recognized its significance by including it as part of their Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2009. The festival spans from January 2 to 7 each year, attracting locals and tourists alike. With a face painted in intricate patterns and adorned with dazzling accessories, our protagonist embodies the spirit of joyous celebration that permeates every corner during this event. Their eyes sparkle with excitement as they join fellow revelers parading through Pasto's streets. This horizontal composition allows us to appreciate not only our subject but also the surrounding spectacle: confetti raining down like bursts of happiness against a backdrop filled with exuberant costumes and lively music. Robayo's skillful capture transports us into a world where tradition meets modernity; where history blends seamlessly with contemporary expressions. It serves as a reminder that festivals like these are not just about entertainment but also about preserving cultural identity for future generations to cherish. This print is an invitation to immerse ourselves in Colombia's vibrant culture and experience firsthand the magic that unfolds during one of its most cherished
