Duan Yinmei (R), an inheritor of the tie-dye technique of Bai ethnic group, and handicraftsman Duan Lilan create knots on fabrics in a dyehouse in Zhoucheng Village of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province, November 21, 2025. Known as the hometown of the tie-dye technique of Bai ethnic group, Zhoucheng Village hosts over 200 households engaging in tie-dye businesses, with the number of employees exceeding 4,000. As a traditional folk technique of the Bai ethnic group, tie-dye boasts a history spanning over a thousand years and was included in the first batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage list in 2006. Tying and dyeing are the core steps in the process of making indigo tie-dye products. Artisans use needles and threads to create various patterns on the fabric, which are then dyed with plant-based dyes, resulting in blue backgrounds adorned with vivid white patterns.

Tuna Fishing in Barbate - Cadiz

Several fishermen during the 'levantá' of tuna in the vicinity of Barbate, on May 27, 2025, in Barbate, Cadiz, Andalusia (Spain). The 'levantá' of Barbate is the culminating and most spectacular moment of traditional bluefin tuna fishing in the almadraba, an ancient art practiced every spring off the coast of Barbate (Cadiz). It consists of slowly raising the codend net, where the tuna have been trapped during their migration towards the Mediterranean, causing the large fish to emerge to the surface amidst flapping and foam, while the fishermen select and catch the largest specimens. Today, the technique has evolved: the divers sacrifice the tuna one by one with "luparas" (special poles), and the final lifting is done with cranes, although the ritual and collective nature of the process is preserved.
