CIMARRON: Freedom and Masquerade — Charles Fréger, 2019, Foreword by Ishmael Reed
In CIMARRON , French photographer Charles Fréger documents Afro-descendant masquerade traditions across the Americas—visual rituals born of resistance, survival, and spiritual inheritance. Shot in countries including Haiti, Brazil, Suriname, and Trinidad, this body of work honours the legacy of the Cimarron: enslaved Africans who escaped bondage and formed free communities outside colonial rule. Fréger’s portraits are theatrical, front-facing, and saturated with myth.
