Association for Communication in Portuguese Language opens photography exhibition focused on the impact of the pandemic

Association for Communication in Portuguese Language opens photography exhibition focused on the impact of the pandemic

The opening ceremony will take place at 6:30 pm, in the Casa Garden Exhibition Gallery – Fundação Oriente, and includes a cocktail and entertainment with the group Dança Brasil and DJ Cuco.

The fourth edition of this photography competition, organized annually by ‘Somos! — Association for Communication in Portuguese Language’, had as its theme a photographic self-reflection on the loneliness experienced during the days of restrictions imposed globally by health authorities.

According to the association, the photographs ‘overflow what communities in Portuguese-speaking Countries and Macau felt during this period and – now with due distance – give a vision of how this cycle of loneliness is closing’.

Brazilian Raphael Alves was the big winner of the “Somos Imagens da Lusofonia” competition, with the photograph entitled “Insulae”, thus winning the first prize, worth 10 thousand patacas, with a photograph taken in a cemetery in Manaus , in Brazil.

Brazilian Raphael Alves was the big winner of the “Somos Imagens da Lusofonia” competition, with the photograph “Insulae”, taken in a cemetery in Manaus, Brazil.

In the descriptive memory, Raphael Alves states that the photograph portrays socioeconomic inequalities and the “lack of policies for the region showed the fragility of the largest Brazilian state, Amazonas. During the Covid-19 pandemic, only three family members of each victim could attend burials in Manaus cemeteries. An isolated death.”

The jury decided to award the second prize, of 5 thousand patacas, to a photograph by the Portuguese Jorge Meira, entitled “Safe Distance”, taken in July 2020, in Vila Praia de Âncora, after the Portuguese Government’s Covid restrictions enforcement, which envisaged a distance of 1.5 meters between vacationers.

Portuguese Jorge Meira came in second place, with the photo “Safe Distance”, taken in July 2020, in Vila Praia de Âncora, after the lifting of Covid restrictions by the Portuguese Government.

Meanwhile, Dário Paraíso won the third prize, of MOP3,500, with an image of São Tomé, captured at the Bobo Forro Market in 2020. “Waiting”, describes the long-known stop in time of São-Tomé and Príncipe that “after their independence, physical and material structures stopped in time hand in hand with immaterial structures (…) Their meaning was already known. Isolation. Insularity. Distances. Separation.”

Dário Paraíso won the third prize, with an image of São Tomé, captured at the Bobo Forro Market in 2020. “Waiting” describes the stop in time in São-Tomé and Príncipe.

The photographic competition was open to all citizens of Lusophone countries and regions and residents of Macau, with photographs taken in any of these locations: Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Macau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe , East Timor or Goa, Daman and Diu.

The panel of judges was made up of a group of photojournalists from Macau, Brazil and Portugal, namely Gonçalo Lobo Pinheiro (president of the jury and representative of Somos – ACLP), Rui Miguel Pedrosa; Francisco Ricarte; Marcio Pimenta and Henry Milleo.

Influences: Numero Ten by Thomas Knott & Alex Harrison

       Who?

Thomas Knott & Alex Harrison are Tokyo based photographers. The project is curated by Zerofeedback a Tokyo based independent publisher specializing in contemporary photography, design, and culture. They produce and distribute small but high quality publications.

What?

Influences is a series of publications that connect two photographers who, in a sequential manner, will influence each other for the compilation of each publication. At the time time of this article, they are up to 12 editions.

This edition titled, “Japan Dialogues” features Alex and Thomas embarking on a photographic exploration of Japan, merging distinct mediums to capture its multifaceted beauty.

Details.

20 photos / 22 pages, square format 210x210mm
color matte coat 135kg
50 copies limited edition

Where?

You can order from the Zerofeedback webshop here. The price is about 17.50 USD and note there is a typo on the website when ordering as it says “numero eleven” but is “numero ten.”

Restrooms by Joel Pulliam

Who?

Joel Pulliam is a Tokyo based photographer and member of the photo collective, Void Tokyo, and frequent curator of their Instagram account. He is also a former Visual Interviewee that you can see here.

What?

That is right, a book on Tokyo restrooms! It certainly shares an affinity to his previous zine Slopes, not only heightened by the similarly minimal design, but in the manner of documentation. Both saw the photographer searching out these marks and working in any and all compositional effects for its dynamism. I alluded to the Friedlander approach writing about Slopes, but it really is about the mediation. I recall at the annual Void Tokyo exhibition last year that saw Joel finding a striking shadow composition and shooting everyone who walked into it. Found it interesting because he printed and shared all the images (around 1o0) which really heightened the digital aspect. Which made sense to me, because if you are going to do it, why shy away from the digital medium’s strength? Either way, repetition through meditation prevails through all these projects.

Why?

I will refer to the photographer’s statement, “All around my neighborhood, I pass buildings that are being torn down to make space for newer, shinier ones. Only the public restrooms seem immune to change.”

Details.

Limited edition of 100, printed in Japan.

A5 size, 28 pages, 17 photos plus an essay.

Where?

*Important announcement from the photographer.

“For every copy of RESTROOMS or SLOPES bought during the remainder of January, I will donate the entire purchase price to Peace Winds, a trusted NGO that is providing support and medical care to those who were evacuated due to the earthquake in western Japan on New Year’s Day.

Tens of thousands have been forced to leave their homes. Many are elderly and in need of immediate medical treatment. Please consider joining me to help”

You can order by DM via his Instagram here.

———————————————————————————

Thanks to our two guests for their submissions, it is a really cool thing to be able to share them all with you. And remember, this is open to everyone. If you would like to have your zines or books featured then all you have to do is mail me. Hopefully there will be plenty more of you who want to get your books and zines out there to the world. Another installment will be coming soon.

Thanks,

JCH

When the lens reveals excesses

Peter Magubane, who died recently, was part of a legacy of photographers whose photographs helped uncover the suffering of people in undemocratic regimes

On January 1, photographers and human rights activists woke up to the news of Peter Magubane’s death at 91. Magubane turned his lens on the cruelty of apartheid in South Africa at its peak. His stark images of the racial divide led to him being punished and kept in solitary confinement for 586 days and for five years after, he was not allowed to meet more than one person at a time. In the wake of his death, here’s looking at some other photographers who chose to turn the lens on undemocratic regimes across the world.

Corrine Dufka first picked up a camera during her stint as a social worker in El Salvador in the mid-eighties. From 1988-1999, she photographed extensively in Central America, Bosnia and Africa—most notably the genocide in Rwanda. Her book, This is War: Photographs From A Decade of Conflict, chronicles not just the conflict she covered, but also the toll it took on her. “But as the years passed, I became aware that, with each war, what I gained in stature as a photojournalist, I lost in human empathy,” Dufka writes in the book.

Born in Tehran in 1952, Hengameh Golestan began photographing in 1972, at a time when there were just a handful of women photographers in the country. In March 1979, just a day after the hijab law was enforced in Iran, Golestan took to the streets with 20 rolls of film and documented the mass protest against an oppressive regime that had most affected Iran’s women. One of her iconic images shows impassioned women defiantly braving the snow, protesting – without the hijab.

Ernest Cole was born in 1940, in a Black freehold township in Pretoria, South Africa. At 16, he decided to take up photography in the middle of a raging apartheid in the country. While Peter Magubane was shooting protests and on-the-spot violence, Cole was more focused on photographing people living on the margins of a society that was now more divisive than ever. He’s known to have gotten access to prisons by getting arrested himself. There’s an iconic image of his, of a line of black men outside doctors’ offices undergoing a medical examination in the nude, in South Africa. By 1966, it was getting hard for Cole to work in South Africa, and his seminal book House of Bondage was published in New York in 1967. It was an unapologetic, accusatory look at the atrocities of the apartheid. In 1990, Cole died in New York, after having sadly faded from the scene in the 1970s itself.

Food Photography Is at the Center of a New Political Scandal

Food Photography Is at the Center of a New Political Scandal

When it comes to political scandals recently, there have been plenty of offenses to choose from — including lying about nearly everything, indictments on bribery charges and unsettling blends of hypocrisy and allegations of sexual misconduct. And then there’s the case of Mayra Flores, who served one term in the House of Representatives and is seeking to return to the House after district lines were redrawn. She’s currently seeking the Republican Party’s nomination in Texas’s 34th Congressional District.

As Andrea Flores explained in a Los Angeles Times article, former Rep. Flores has been under fire for posting photographs of food on her social media accounts. How is this a political scandal, you might ask? Apparently, Flores has a habit of posting images of food to her social media that she didn’t take — and which, in some cases, aren’t correctly identified.

The Times cites one instance in which Flores posted what appeared to be an image of her making food for her family — except the image was identical to one used by a tourism website promoting travel to Guyana. Investigations by both the Texas Tribune and Current Revolt turned up more examples of Flores’s social media posting images of food that were taken from other sources — and sometimes didn’t quite line up with the food described in her post. In one instance, a post from Flores identified a gas stove as a wood-burning stove.

The scandal, Current Revolt’s article notes, has been dubbed “Grubgate” on social media. When the Texas Tribune reached Flores for comment, she told them that “[t]he photo simply reminded me of my upbringing in Mexico and childhood.”

Will this scandal be enough to cost Flores the election? We’ll know in about two months — as of now, she is one of four hopefuls seeking the Republican nomination in a March 5 primary.
