I cannot stand so called "American indigenous activists+models" who date white people and non natives and then they end up gentrifying our spaces 🙄🙄🙄

And i hate non natives on the internet being condescending and acting like its just me who's mad about it when others in the community complain about it behind closed doors.

Im tired of keeping secrets

White people are so entitled. Its not up to YOU to decide youre not racist, it is the people of a different demographic and your entitlement is disgusting.

The exact reason why I don't like white people or non native reblogging, they end up showing their true colors.

Capturing Mexican Beauty as an Act of Self-Love

Dorian López’s MexicanoMX is more than a photo project, it’s a defiant act of self-love.

By capturing the beauty of everyday Mexicans, López’s photos destroy the false and archaic notion that only light-skinned people are pretty.

In MexicanoMX, brown skin, black hair, Indigenous eyes, noses and lips are celebrated — and in doing so, restores for many a positive self-image. And that’s a beautiful thing.

Your top picture on your tumblr - the young on a rope bridge about to collapse with her animal sidekick. Where's that from?

Hello 👋🏽 I'm glad you like that art banner! I believe it's a concept art for the Peruvian film in production called, "Kayara"!

I found the image maybe 2 years ago so I don't remember if it's official concept art or if it is fanart

I will try and find the original source later and update this post when I find it

Israel isn't just breaking international law. It's creating precedent and changing it to make this violence permissible. What happens to Palestinians matters for everyone, everywhere. It sets a precedent that means no where else in the globe is safe. What more do we need to act?

So apparently Swedish and Polish facial reconstructionists decided to try to recreate the famous Incan "Ice Maiden" mummy dubbed "Juanita".

Truthfully, I feel like these European reconstructionists ( do not know how to re-create Andean facial features and the results ended up... terribly uncanny. So down below, with the use of photoshop, I edited the bust with more Andean Indigenous Peruvian facial features to honor the "Ice Maiden".

My version:

I made her brows straighter and longer, got rid of the cleft chin, gave her a down-turned mouth, broader lips (not small), I made her lips a little larger too and I made her nose longer/bigger and wider around the nasal Ala. I also broadened her nostrils a tad

and I made her under-eyes more puffy

I widened her bone structure

I emphasized her sideburns

My version (on top):

original (white euros created) below:

I hope that in the future, more Andean/Indigenous Peruvian facial reconstructionists have opportunities to work on revealing the faces of their kin and ancestors. We needed more andean people involved in her reconstruction.

Let me know what you think of my edits down below too!

I hope you enjoy them!
