IMAGES OF THE MONTH – JANUARY 2020: A relatively undisturbed, unique indigenous culture in Panama is that of the Guna. The Guna live in a Panamanian autonomous province called Guna Yala, which comprises the nearly 400 islands of the San Blas Archipelago, and a strip of Caribbean Coast from Colón Province to Colombia. The Guna are mostly known for their colorful molas. Mola is the Guna word for blouse, but the term has come to mean the elaborate embroidered panels made by Guna women, that make up the front and back of their blouses. They are composed of several layers of cloth, varying in color, loosely stitched together using the technique known as reverse appliqué. The Guna have presided over the region since the 1920s. Today they govern themselves, and have two representatives in the Panamanian legislature. The Guna people, especially women, are stubborn protectors and carriers of their culture, as well as shrewd businesspeople. **** IMÁGENES DEL MES – ENERO 2020: Una cultura indígena relativamente tranquila y única en Panamá es la de los Guna. Los Guna viven en una provincia autónoma panameña llamada Guna Yala, que comprende las casi 400 islas del archipiélago de San Blas y una franja de la costa caribeña desde la provincia de Colón hasta Colombia. Los Guna son principalmente conocidos por sus coloridas molas. Mola es la palabra guna para blusa, pero el término ha llegado a significar los elaborados paneles elaborados por mujeres guna, que forman el frente y la parte posterior de sus blusas. Se componen de varias capas de tela, que varían en color, unidas utilizando la técnica conocida como aplicación inversa. Los Guna han presidido la región desde la década de 1920. Hoy se gobiernan a sí mismos y tienen dos representantes en la legislatura panameña. Los Guna, principalmente las mujeres, son obstinadas protectoras y portadoras de su cultura, así como también son astutas empresarias. #ginasantiphoto #ginasantiphotography #panama #gunayala #molas #visualanthropology @natgeotravel @natgeo @lonelyplanet @cntraveler @societyforvisualanthropology
