This is a special year for creating a new Lima with a memory; that is our decree (and our wish). Now more than ever: Let's reclaim the memory of Lima as a thousand-year-old city.
Amidst the shifting sands of Lima's reality, one of the most solid foundations is the huacas. And this is their year, as they will represent the Peruvian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. For this reason, to elevate and share them with more people, this edition of the 6th Photography Competition by Lima Milenaria focuses exclusively on photographs of these ancient ceremonial centers... huacas everywhere. The winning photographs will have the opportunity to be displayed at the Biennale, among other important prizes.
You don't have to go far to capture a huaca in time; just go for a walk (or dig through your archives). We are surrounded by them, or we live while surrounding them, even if we forget. This is an act to remember, commemorate, and better understand them. What is the relationship between Lima's citizens and the huacas in the city? See them with new eyes—don't just pass by; stop and admire them. So much history, wisdom, mystery, poetry, and reflection... Just don't delay in capturing them; the deadline for submissions is midnight on January 10. Read on to learn how to participate.
