by two well known french journalist Pierre Péan and Philippe Cohen,
here is precisely the backstage, in a photo-report carried out in April
2002, on the daily newspaper “Le Monde”. Our photographer

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In
1982, Paolo Dall’Oglio, a young Italian Jesuit arrived at the Deir
Mar Musa ruins in the mountains of the Syrian Desert and decided to build
an new ecumenical community. He wanted to recreate a place that welcomed
everyone, a multi-religious monastery that would encourage Muslim-Christian
reconciliation in that difficult period. Last year, the monastery was
visited by Pope John Paul II in the frame of the Christian Union’s
week of prayer. This year, father Dall’Oglio can proudly celebrate
Mar Musa’s twentieth anniversary, a spiritual heaven open to all
religions; more ... Syria - 26 images - added January 2003 |

| > CALAMOCARRO, DREAMED STATION |
Photographs by
CARLOS LUJAN
/ Taïga |
| Our
neighbours of the African continent undertook a long road in search of
the dreamed station that it allowed them to ascend to the train of the
European "paradise". In Spain, in one of the beaches of Ceuta
"Calamocarro" hundred of Africans, crowded between cardboards
and garbage, have waited the moment to be able to ascend to this train.
Calamocarro has been for them a dreamed station and wanted. They won't
care the inclemency of the dirt and the powder, the solitude and the nostalgia
of it; it is part of the note to enter in the "promised land";

| > RETURNING TO CHATILA | Photographs
by IVO
SAGLIETTI / Zeitenspiegel
/ Taïga |
| Photographer
Ivo Saglietti follows the atmosphere in Sabra and Chatila, twenty years
after the September 1982 massacre. Palestinian survivors of all ages cannot
face the past, for the past is still the present, and nothing can bring
back the 1,490 victims executed over four horrible days and nights. He
shows through his pictures that life moves on with an new lively generation,
who are doing more and more to shake the memories that are engrained on
the often decaying walls of the town. He takes us along to meet the inhabitants
of Sabra and Chatila, who live with the burden of their relatives’
absence; more... Lebanon - 20 images - added December 2002 |

| > CENTAURES OF THE SANDS | Photographs
by PATRICIO ESTAY / Taïga |
| Rooted
in Moroccan tradition, the Fantasia is a combination of charging on horseback
and rifle shooting; though it is highly spectacular, there is more to
it. It is above all a warrior game, impressive in itself, of course. It
exists primarily to recreate the fighting conditions of yesteryear. The
rules alone are a genuine rite. Marocco - 60 images - added November 2002 |

| > EXHUMATION AND IDENTIFICATION | Photographs
and text by SARA
TERRY / Taïga |
| In
1992, in the early months of the war in Bosnia, Serbs launched an ethnic
cleansing campaign against their Muslim neighbors as part of a campaign
-- driven by a nationalist agenda in Serbia and among Bosnian Serbs --
to create an ethnically pure Greater Serbia. Thousands of Muslims were
killed in the spring and summer of 1992, many of them dumped in mass graves.
Today, those graves are still being discovered and exhumed around the
country; more... Bosnia - 15 images - added October 2002 |

and text by CHRISTIAN CRAVO / Taïga
|
| This
is the Sertão (Backlands), Brazil’s Northeast. This is a
holy and sun-scorched land. Jesus is buried here, or so some believe.
For three centuries Brazil’s devout Sertanejos (Backlanders) have
relied on pilgrimages to sacred sites deep in this inhospitable land to
expiate their sins, exchange information, and acquire amulets, figures
of saints, religious icons, that will protect them until the next gathering.
It’s primarily with prayers for redemption in the form of life-
giving rain, which must fall from Heaven, that these journeys continue;

of the humanity consume bad quality water. Every day, 30 000 human beings
are dying fromcontagious diseases, contaminated by polluted water. But
water is vital in many other areas, and means purification when it is
at the core of religious practices. |
