EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant spirit of Haiti's Carnival, a celebration like no other. In the heart of Port-au-Prince, revelers adorned with garlands of snakes take to the streets on the final day of festivities. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic expression that defines this Caribbean nation. As if frozen in time, we witness dancers gracefully moving through the city's center while musician bands fill the air with infectious rhythms. The energy emanating from their performances is palpable, drawing spectators into an immersive experience that transcends mere observation. The choice to wear snake garlands adds an intriguing element to this already mesmerizing scene. Symbolically significant in Haitian Vodou traditions, snakes represent transformation and rebirth. It is as if these revelers are shedding their old selves and embracing a new beginning amidst this joyous occasion. Hector Retamal skillfully captures every detail - from the colorful costumes to the exuberant expressions on people's faces - transporting us right into the heart of Haiti's Carnival. This photograph serves as a reminder of how culture can unite communities and ignite collective joy even in challenging times. Through his lens, Retamal invites us to immerse ourselves in this extraordinary event – one where tradition meets modernity, music merges with dance, and individuals come together under a common rhythm. It is a visual feast for our senses that leaves us yearning for more glimpses into Haiti's vibrant cultural tapestry captured by AFP photographers like
