IMAZIGHEN - Free Men of Morocco
Photography in the land of the Imazighen: Northern Morocco, the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.
Small collection of 28 carefully selected photos taken in 2005 by João Leitão.
Imazighen or Amazigh ( singular ) is the original ethnic group of the Maghreb region in North Africa. A.k.a. Berbers, these unique people persisted to exist and maintain their traditions even after several foreign invasions. In Morocco there are more than 20 million Berber spread around the country in few distinct tribes and groups.
This photographic research helps you understand the main differences between the Berbers from the North, from the Atlas Mountains and from the Sahara.
Morocco seen different
This 32 pages book shows a different Morocco. The Morocco beyond the eyes of foreigners, beyound the eyes of the cameras. We often think Morocco is just another Arab country but in fact that is not the reality. Berbers ( Imazighen ) kept their ancesters traditions well attached to their values, creating by this mean a certain gap between them and the Moroccan Arabic citizens.
