Marquesans - Marquesas Islands
Marquesans | Vaioa River, Atuona, Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands | French Polynesia, 2016
Dancing, singing and tattooing are central to the self-representation of the French Polynesian people. The dances, combined with drumming and traditional songs, have been used for centuries to share the islands’ stories and pass them down from generation to generation. Every gesture, facial expression and aspect of their long-established costume adds nuance and detail to the age-old legends.
