“AfroIndígena” is a photo series by São Paulo-based photographers Diego Matheus, Maysa Marin, and Carol Paes. The series aims to create representation for indigenous and African Brazilian women and their rich heritage, which are too often overlooked. “For a long time, Native Indians and the blacks are hidden from the media, thinking about it, Maysa Marin and I were inspired to do this beautiful project,” Matheus writes.
