DALI UM TEMPO VAMOS PERDER ESSA ABACATEIRA NO MEIO DAS BARRACAS

Series of photomontages on vegetable gardens. Made with the purpose of recording the different ways of cultivating and using the trees and plants of the neighborhood. In this field we highlighted the gardens as a means of substance and autonomy; the plants used in traditional medicine; the flowerbeds made with demolition materials; the trees as objects of religious cult of the Hindu community living in the neighborhood; the trees of memory, brought from the countries of origin.



Quinta da Vitória neighborhood during the demolitions, 2013
