INTER.Locution
INTER.locution is a collective project that intertwines the stages and cycles central to humanity: birth and death, metamorphosis, everyday battles, and identity and transcendence. It brings together emerging visual storytellers from Brazil, amplifying the dialogues within their territories as they confront transformative shifts. The project showcases the cacophony of voices addressing the ordinary conflicts and crises—both visible and invisible—that shape daily life, reflecting the struggles of those challenged by the fragile validation of their identities.
Featuring selected photographs from a total collection of 80, this initiative illustrates our shared drift through natural transience, revealing the comedy and tragedy embedded in diverse personal narratives that resonate with global concerns. The investigation delves into intimate stories that explore themes such as environmental crises, domestic violence, sexual and gender identity, and mental health.
By intertwining pain and resilience, the project aims to collapse the divide between imagination and reality, focusing on human nature. It offers a provocative lens on a generation addressing past debts while redefining storytelling in Latin America, presenting a multifaceted reflection that seeks to repair our visual library and enrich our collective imagery.
