Antonio Mari
Antonio Mari is a multilingual Brazilian journalist and photographer
with a master's degree in photography from New York University and a
bachelor's in journalism from the Federal University of Minas Gerais in
Brazil. Mari is based in New York City, and he specializes in
ethnographic subject matter--documenting peoples and cultures
outside the mainstream of western civilization.
He has completed documentaries on the vanishing folklore festivals in
the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the historic architecture of Brazil's
colonial towns and the Amish community of Sugarcreek in Holmes
County, Ohio. He has also spent almost a decade documenting the
fragile existence of the Yanomami Indians in the Brazilian Amazon rain
forest. His reportage on the subject has been widely published
throughout the world, including multipage spreads in Newsweek
, TIME Magazine, Science Magazine and the Boston
Globe.
Mari's work has also had great appeal among galleries and museums,
having been showcased at the Washington Square East Galleries
(New York), Taranto Gallery in Chelsea (New York), the Hillwood Art
Museum in Brookville (New York) and in Strasbourg, France. He has
received several honors for his work, including the Illinois Press
Association's prize for Best Picture Story in 1989, when he worked as a
news photographer at the Belleville News-Democrat.
ZUMA Press represents Antonio Mari worldwide.
