In 2010, researchers Renata Marquez and Wellington Cançado published Domesticidades: Guia de Bolso. The book features images of domestic spaces found in the websites of real estate brokers in Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais.

As an offshoot of the project that gave rise to the book, Marquez and Cançado propose a group research of the ways of living and the anonymous intimacies of Sao Paulo by exercising a remote ethnography on the boundary between public and private, reality and fiction.

The workshop is open to all interested in reflection and building spaces and everyday images: inhabitants, brokers, artists, architects, writers, photographers, designers, anthropologists, cartographers, curious amateurs, etc.

Renata Marquez and Wellington Cançado are professors of design and architecture at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) and researchers of the Cosmópolis group. Publishers of the Piseagrama magazine, they are the authors of Espaços Colaterais (2008), Domesticidades: Guia de Bolso (2010), Atlas Ambulante (2011) and Escavar o Futuro (2014).

Martina and Isadora Brant, from Vibrant publishing house, propose creating an archive-notebook of images and questions – a capsule for the future – in order to discuss the idea of heritage and what we prioritize to recall or forget by editing.

As per the proposition, each notebook will have a narrative of free choice, which may be the memory of a situation experienced, a fiction for the future or even an exercise recounting the history of humanity.

To build the notebook, each participant should bring images and documents to the sessions - magazines, newspapers, news, old or new photos and a notebook. The workshop is recommended to artists, photographers and those interested in the subject.

In some countries, nature already has legal constitutional rights as much as people and institutions.

This workshop led by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin will look into recent events as the starting point to explore the idea of visual evidence and how photography can be used as a powerful legal tool.

The participants will be challenged to find new ways to create images and work collaboratively.

Photographers João Pina and Felipe Nepomuceno propose to plunge into a Brazilian archive that needs digging out: the photographic records of violations of human rights, the political freedom and the freedom of expression.

The proposition of the workshop is to build the heritage and interpret episodes of the Brazilian recent history through photography, the appropriation of old images, of poetry and of thought, each one in its own way and using language itself.
