Discover the ancestral healing traditions of the masters of the Amazon, the Andes, and the Peruvian coast through images by heritage photographer Heinz Plenge: from the Amazon rainforest to the Andean peaks, to the northern coast of Peru, Curanderos, traditional healers, preserve ancient healing practices based on a deep connection with the spirits of nature.

Organized by Adine Gavazzi and Anna Picco-Schwendener from Photoconsortium’s partner USI (Università della Svizzera Italiana), the exhibition (online, in Italian) traces the Peruvian cultural and traditional paths in four sections:

• 1) Sacred places
• 2) The power of the altars
• 3) Healing ceremonies
• 4) The arts and ceremonial elements.
