Colaborar, co-crear y participar

This guide advocates for a shift in Indigenous photography from extractive practices to collaborative co-creation. It argues that the process of engagement must precede the final product, ensuring that Indigenous communities have agency over how they are depicted and that their rights to consent and privacy are respected, particularly in sensitive contexts like pandemics or territorial disputes.

• Effective engagement with Indigenous Peoples requires a shift from individualistic or competitive behaviors toward collective decision-making and a horizontal relationship between the photographer and the subject.
• The process of creation must be participatory and consensus-based from start to finish, prioritizing the relationship with the community over the final image.
• Lack of prior consultation and consent in photography can lead to human rights violations and the rejection of work by Indigenous leaders, as demonstrated by the case of the Yanomami people.
• To address systemic inequality in representation, visual research and photography should involve the co-authorship of Indigenous representatives and ensure fair payment for their work.
