The fourth meeting of Favelas em Foto<\/a> (Favelas in Photo) took place in\u00a0Santa Marta<\/a> on Saturday, May 19, organized by the photography collective\u00a0Favela em Foco<\/a>\u00a0(Favela in Focus) in partnership with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. The event brought together residents of Santa Marta and photographers to discuss the creative photography process and the role of photography<\/a> in favelas’\u00a0memories<\/a> and history<\/a>. The event, which aimed to “hear Santa Marta residents’ opinions about the photos produced in the locale,” was an open discussion between professionals and laypeople with an interest in images.<\/p>\n

This edition of Favelas em Foto took place at the\u00a0Ponto de Cultura Aos P\u00e9s do Santa Marta<\/a>, a cultural and artistic center coordinated by Robespierre Avila. Photographer Antoine Horenbeek captured scenes from the exchange for\u00a0RioOnWatch.

The discussion<\/span><\/p>\n

All participants\u2014whether photographer, teacher, tour guide, psychologist, or other, and whether resident of Santa Marta or not\u2014took part in the game. The selected photos started passionate discussions about the difficulties of being a photographer, both funny and intense moments in Santa Marta’s history, photojournalism, and\u00a0tourism in favelas<\/a>, among other topics. The conversation sometimes brought out strong emotions from those present.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Following events in Provid\u00eancia<\/a>, Vila Kennedy<\/a>, and Manguinhos<\/a>, the final Favelas em Foto event will take place in June and will bring together all of the content discussed and recorded in each community to catalyze a general reflection about photography’s role in Rio’s favelas.<\/p>\n
