Hippie nudists. Rainbow Tribes

The Rainbow Tribes Meeting is an annual gathering of people who support the ideals of peace, love and freedom. Admission to these meetings is free, there is no hierarchy and a clear organization in the community — each of the participants is responsible for finding a place for the camp, preparing food, providing first aid and safety.

The expenses are covered by donations: utopians conduct dance and meditation lessons, sit in a circle and play drums, collect herbs and do yoga.

The author of these photos, Denis Vedzhas, says that the invitation to the first meeting came to him by e — mail-it was a scanned postcard with a hand-drawn map and psychedelic images of flowers and hearts. The card was signed with the words "Welcome home".

Over the centuries, the criteria of the two concepts under consideration have changed. The Greeks turned the human body into a cult, and Muslims consider even an open female face indecent. Medieval philosophers, based on the Bible, considered any exposure sinful. Carnal pleasures were repugnant to the scholastics of those times, so it did not matter how eroticism differs from porn-both of these phenomena were banned.

The author of the photos says that at the first such meeting he met hippies and nomads, Russian alcoholic priests, anarchists, hackers, self-proclaimed prophets and various creative people.
