These portraits, by Luca Catalano Gonzaga, have been taken 50 years after Richard Avedon shot the portrait of the enslaved William Casby, entitled \u201cBorn in Slavery\u201d. They tell about the Haratin people of Mauritania, descendants of the Black Moors, the historically enslaved population \u201cowned\u201d by the White Moors, a powerful minority. Although \u201cHaratin\u201d means literally \u201cthose who have been freed\u201d, these women and men still live in slavery, generation after generation, treated by everyone else as a \u2018property\u2019: something only worth buying, selling, trading or destroying. Haratins live in villages in the countryside, work a land which is not theirs and don\u2019t receive a salary or any other form of compensation. In the villages of Daguag, Jedida, Tejala (Brakna District), Mbeida (Gorgol District), many Haratin who have been invited by the leader of their village wait for their turn to have their picture taken inside a hut, anonymously.\u00a0(text by\u00a0Luca Catalano Gonzaga<\/b>).<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>
