On this page, we will find a compilation of photos that I have worked with several organisations and projects, all focused on migration and climate change.

 

“ The lack of European management on effective migration policies escalates the situation in Lampedusa''

I've written an article and produced a photo essay while working in Lampedusa in Italy, during one most significant crises of the history of island.

’’ Lampedusa, an Italian island close to the North African countries, has seen a record number of arrivals in the past few days following a quiet week due to a storm in the Central Mediterranean that prevented boats from departing. Following a patch of good weather, an influx of boats has arrived with thousands of people looking to start a life in Europe. On Tuesday 12, the situation in Lampedusa escalated tremendously with over 6000 people arriving in just 24 hours. This has left the island at breaking point with food, water and shelter not being provided to everyone and the authorities struggling to manage. The hotspot/camp has lost control and many people have been left on the streets without their basic needs being met. So the question is, how are they meant to claim asylum in Europe if they can’t get here legally and when they do by illegal means, they are criminalised and punished in camps? ‘‘

Thousands of people attended what was a powerful protest against the increasingly punitive violence being inflicted on civilians by the Israeli military, and the threat of genocide being committed against the Palestinian people.

The "time-bomb" Refugee Camps on Lesvos - Photo report

After the fire that destroyed the Moria camp in September 2020, over 12,000 people were displaced onto the streets of Lesvos. The peaceful protests of asylum-seekers and their children were tear-gassed by police. Medical and human rights organisations, civil society groups and parliamentarians called for the evacuation of all people who had to flee Moria camp from the island, and an end to the migration approach of trapping people in such undignified and dehumanising conditions.

MVI - Medical Volunteers International working on the ground in Bosnia - Activities Report - November - December 2021

‘‘ According to the World Health Organization, “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition”. The MVI medical team visits several locations every day to ensure the right to healthcare. But it is a huge challenge to make this basic right accessible to everyone, especially one in this region. Once we arrive, a consultation takes place. This initial conversation is very important to understand people's medical needs and to explain the steps and recommendations of medical assistance.. ’’

Belfast’s Broken Record Crackles On

My piece about the situation in Belfast, Northern Ireland for Cassandra Voices Magazine.

“ There is a strong impression of the same old story of the Troubles in Belfast, all over again. The new element is the pandemic affecting teenage lives “

Moria Refugee camp - Greece

I went to the Moria refugee camp between 28/12/2019 and 07/01/2020 to document the situation and conditions that more than 20,000 people are living in. There are several cases of people and families who have been waiting more than two years for some response regarding a relocation to a European country.

My photos were published on the article in the Irish Examiner (online and printed) and on Cassandra Voices I wrote the article.

UNRAVELLED - A photo essay on Europe’s textile transition

I was invited by the European Environmental Bureau to create a photo essay in Dublin at the The Rediscovery Centre. Was so nice and important to see projects like the The Rediscovery Centre looking and working in a new way. Developing the circular economy and advocates for a more resilient, equitable society.

This photo project was produced with the financial assistance of the European Union. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of the EEB as the coordinator of the ‘Make Europe Sustainable For All’ project and can under no circumstances be taken as reflecting the position of the European Union.

Origens - Aldeia Indigena Yawanawa – Amazon – Acre – 10/2015

Immersed in the people of our origin.

After 5 hours driving by car and 9 hours by boat, I arrived at Yawanawa Indigena Tribe to document the Yawa Festival, and to get to understand the indigenous culture. My stay revealed the universe of mysteries that shape out our heritage.

Intensity, truth, love and culture defines the Yawanawa tribe.

Vida Arte Seringueira – Documentary by Fellipe Lopes – Amazon – Acre - 09/2015

The lives of artisans Gilberto Silva and Raimundo Nonato have been built with respect and admiration for the forest. Teaching this has been a central ambition at the Cazumbá-Iracema Extractive Reserve, located in Sena Madureira. The area of 750,000 hectares of forest is fully protected and houses several preservations .One of the main activities that has always generated income for the locals is crafts made using the latex from rubber trees.

In “Cazumbá-Iracema - Art of the Forest”, Gilberto and Raimundo tell their stories, showing  how nature brings respect and unity to the community in which they live.

[CentrøPixø] – São Paulo - 2017

As Mano Brown ('Racionais') once sang, "who is not seen is not remembered". The need to occupy public space and leave your mark is not solely a contemporary idea. Neither is contesting its historic and artistic value. Marking your place has always been the main form of expression of the poor. Since the Roman Empire there is evidence of an art form that was not only discriminated against, but also repressed.

In Brazil ”Pixo” is this form of expression .

The exhibition [CentrøPixø] raises the discussion about the predominant presence of Pixo in the center of São Paulo. I started by the old town and began to walk. Shortly before arriving in Paulista Avenue, the Pixo started to disappear. In the most famous avenue in SP, Pixo is washed, covered, removed, and appears not to be there. 

But the Pixo is there… resisting. On the way to work, on the road, every day, everywhere. It often goes unnoticed but is part of the 'background’ of the Babylon of São Paulo, reflecting the chaos of an unjust society.

The overall intention of this project is to show how prevalent Pixo is in the every day lives lives of Paulistanos. The Pixo is an organic part of the urban landscape, and its existence can be considered a spatial interference, characteristic to a city like São Paulo. However, The Pixo is a practice that is considered by many people as expressive writing but  onewith a specifically political message. It is a subversive form of expression that breaks certain social values of the ruling class.
