These images appeared the other night on a wall on Carrera 3 in La Candelaria. A secret message? A curious advocacy for indigenous rights?The English is imperfect enough to suggest this was the work of a mediocre Colombian high school student, or an unsuccesful poet.

Is this exploitation of indigenous people, who surely have no idea that their photos are on a wall in Bogotá? A candid camera exercise? A waste of paper? The website says that 20% of photo sales go to a village in Laos. What about an educated native English speaker impersonating a Colombian learning English?

I'd much rather here from the Indians themselves rather than some self-abnegation imperialist. Then again we would have to make contact with some previously uncontacted amazonians, that in turn would corrupt them to our ways of life.
