ANA CAROLINE DE LIMA
Guided by a sensitive and attentive approach, I build trust and listen closely to the rhythms of the people and places she documents. While deeply rooted in social engagement, my practice is equally committed to visual form, treating aesthetics as essential to storytelling.
ARTIST STATEMENT – WE ARE ONE
At 4,191 meters above sea level, the Chaccu takes place each year, in an ancient Inca ritual where villagers guide wild vicuñas into a corral to be counted, shorn, and released. By the mid-20th century, vicuñas were nearly extinct, with fewer than 10,000 left. Reviving the Chaccu, communities like Picotani turned the Inca shearing method into a conservation practice. Today, the population has rebounded to around 400,000, showing how ancestral knowledge can protect both species and culture.
