Filed under Exhibition: Mother Earth (Woman)
In this exhibition of striking photographs of women from; China, India and Bolivia, Simon Raven hopes to highlight the strength and important role women play in communities at the frontier’s of the world.
Pachamama (Mother Earth) is a goddess revered by the indigenous people of the Andes. In Inca mythology, Mama Pacha or Pachamama is a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting. Since Pachamama is a “good mother”, people in some regions of South America usually toast her honour by spilling a small amount of alcohol on the floor, before drinking the rest.

Water flows over Iguazu falls at an astonishing rate of 1,746 metres cubed ever single second, with a record flow of 12,800 metres cubed. Located on the border of the Brazilian State of Paraná and the Argentine Province of Misiones, Iguazu Falls is made up of hundreds of islands along the 1.7 mile long edge dividing the falls into 275 separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying between 60 metres and 82 metres high.
