Made as a part of Coletivo Passetto, with Bruna Passetto.
The project presents portraits of people from my hometown in the Brazilian countryside. It aims to explore the social roles individuals play and how they contribute to the functioning and shaping of the community. The idea is to challenge the lingering post-colonial perspective—still common in many small Brazilian towns—that equates a person’s importance with their material wealth or social status. Instead, the project invites the town’s citizens to reflect on alternative ways of understanding their own significance within the community.
