Fotografia e cidadania: prática comunicacional em Curralinho – Marajó

Abstract

This study departs from a multimedia workshop of the ÀWÚRE Ribeirinhos Project in Curralinho, in the region of Marajó, Pará, Brazil. After it, academic restlessness arose to reflect on what would be the perceptions of the young people of Curralinho about the municipality and their daily lives based on the photographic essay they produced to promote active participation and awareness of citizenship in the construction of their own narratives. This study proposed to understand how young people portray their local reality by photography, exploring the themes, perspectives, and image approaches in the produced material. This research also seeks to investigate the influence of the geographical, social, and cultural context in these visual production representations and identify the difficulties this population faces and their expression by photographs.
