Description
Visit Palenque, the first free Black town in the Americas, to see how African culture survives in Colombia today.
I traveled to this historic community to explore the legacy of Africans who escaped slavery to build their own society. This village remains a powerful symbol of independence, preserving a distinct language, traditional dancing, and unique art that has been passed down through generations.
Seeing these enduring traditions firsthand offers a look at a side of Colombian history that is often overlooked. I captured the local life and vibrant spirit of the people who keep their ancestors' customs alive centuries later.
