Fronteiras e Travessias:

Abstract

This essay is a way to approach the migration process of Venezuelans to Brazil, through occasional visuals perceived by transiting on avenues and streets in the city of Boa Vista, capital of the state of Roraima. The objective is to organize in an array of images the meanings behind the borders and symbolic crossings about this phenomenon, comprehending the human displacements as dynamic, interactive and changeable processes, that do tell about others and, at the same time, about us. The frame of this constructive narrative is made in the visual inscription of Venezuelan immigrants in the city and the diverse fragments of this tense coexistence, by indicating situations of vulnerability of those who seek refuge in Brazil and the important hybrid and cultural appropriations in what nowadays presents itself as one of the most expressive migration phenomenon in the country.
