World Nomad Games

A group of Kyrgyz female stunt riders take some time out from the 3rd World Nomad Games — which took place in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan from 2–8 September 2018 — to ride together and talk. Their performance consists of men chasing them for a kiss, as if the men are “bride-kidnapping”. But the tradition is mocked when the women return the chase, catching up to the kiss thief and whipping him. Photo: Eleanor Moseman.
