IMAGE AND TERRITORY
“Territory is the land plus the people. It is an identity: the reality, and
the feeling of belonging to something that also belongs to you”
Milton Santos

How far is verbal language a barrier or not to successful cultural exchange?
Ratão Diniz
“He didn’t speak Portuguese, and I didn’t speak English, but we communicate. Was amazing how it happened”
“What is important for me is that the students leave here with
more of a critical framework about culture and the life that is
out there, [...] once they realise that they can engage with
that, [...] the politics come with it.”
David Bennett
“I prefer not to speak about the aesthetics of the periphery
but about the freedom of dreams.”
J. R. Ripper
The role of territory and social context in developing the protographer’s practice
“There is an emerging photographic movement in various Brazilian peripheries and across the world. Any boy or girl with a simple digital camera or a mobile can be a powerful witness to their world and their time.”
Dante Gastaldoni
The power of photography in translating and transforming urban realities
“When I take a photograph I try to find myself in the other. And if I do that I recognise the other and their value: what they represent, what they bring and what they do for me.”
AF Rodrigues
“Being looked at makes us look at ourselves in a different way. It sheds light on things that we cannot see.” Giuliana Frozoni
