The Mennonite community is a Protestant Anabaptist denomination that originated in Switzerland and Eastern Europe, having fled persecution in the mid-16th century. Today, the majority of Mennonites are spread across many countries in South America, particularly in Mexico, where more than 100,000 of them live.
I decided to visit a small community of 200 families living in southeastern Mexico, in the state of Quintana Roo. Advocating a traditional, nonviolent way of life, the Mennonites primarily work in agriculture. In the midst of a global pandemic and the multiple lockdowns the entire world has experienced, I wanted to explore marginalized societies—those less affected by this extraordinary event—by getting up close with a community that has lived for decades in a secluded, rigorous and austere, apart from the world, yet not entirely cut off from it, as they interact daily with the local Mexican population—and, by extension, the outside world.
