Honorable Mention
The Tata Gonda Religion: After the Prayer
ATHANASIOS MALOUKOS, Greece
The Tata Gonda Religion: After the Prayer
DESCRIPTION
Lost deep in the plains of Central Congo, lives the community of the Tata Gonda believers, a self-proclaimed god that lived in the 20th century and had been enlightened and buried in this actual “holy” place.

Men and women of the community live a total austere, monastic life, cut out from the rest of the world.

During their daily prayers they brake into tears and shouts, mourning the sins of all people.
AUTHOR
Although a Civil Engineer in profession, I turned out as an amateur travel photographer having traveled to numerous countries around the world such as Ethiopia, India, Burkina Faso, Indonesia, Cote d'Ivoire, China, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Mali, Benin, Haiti, Cuba etc. My main goal is to capture the uniqueness of the local cultures and the life of the people in the most remote places of our world, emphasizing on syncretism between rare religions and rituals. My pictures have been awarded multiple awards in many prestigious photo competitions and have been published in many books and magazines.
