This is the first article in a five-part series<\/a>, published in Portuguese by favela-based online magazine Favela em Pauta<\/a> and titled “Brazils: Stories of the Periphery in the Pandemic.” Each essay comes from a different region of Brazil; this one from the nation’s South. For the original article by Ariel Faria click here<\/a>. It is also our latest article on Covid-19 and its impacts on favelas<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

What stories do the peripheries tell about the pandemic and inequality?\u00a0<\/em>This is the question we wanted to answer when we invited five journalists\u2014residents of peripheries in each of Brazil’s five regions\u2014<\/span>to participate in this project. <\/em>The idea emerged from the Coronavirus in the Peripheries Map<\/a>, an initiative of the Marielle Franco Institute which registered more than 540 collectives that act on the frontlines against Covid-19, in favelas and peripheries across the country. <\/em>Engaging with the data and stories of these collectives and what they have witnessed, the visions of these five journalists show that it is possible to understand the simultaneous similarities and differences of living in the different Brazils that make up Brazil.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
