san luis potosi polaroids
A quick jaunt to San Luis Potosi to start research for my next film project documenting the ritualistic ceremonies of a group of indigenous peyote shamans known as Huicholes. Huicholes, also known as Wixárika, are an indigenous group living within the Sierra Madre Occidental. The use of peyote is central to their religious practices. They undertake an annual pilgrimage to Wirikuta to collect peyote, which they believe facilitates communication with the gods and provides spiritual guidance through visions.
