Urban
Quilombo
This
project
is
a
tes.mony
of
a
place
that
no
longer
exists.
Eight
years
ago
sixty
families
occupied
the
"Galpao
da
Araujo
Barreto”,
an
abandoned
chocolate
factory
in
Salvador
de
Bahia,
Brazil.
Prior
to
establishing
in
this
place,
these
families
lived
throughout
the
dangerous
streets
of
the
city.
In
2003,
these
families
came
together
to
seize
this
deserted
factory,
which
lay
in
ruins,
and
they
transformed
it
into
a
home.
Since
2009,
I
have
been
documen.ng
Barreto.
From
my
studies
in
sociology,
I
understood
that
this
was
a
unique
community.
This
vast
sub
culture
within
the
greater
city
became
one
extended
family.
They
created
a
microcosm
in
which
the
problems
of
drugs,
pros.tu.on
and
violence
tackled
with
the
support
of
the
community.
Today,
life
in
a
community
is
a
form
of
revolu.on.
Barreto
was
a
place
where
the
exchange
of
ideas,
goods
and
services
created
a
bond
of
iden.ty
that
allowed
the
survival
of
its
members
in
a
society
that
marginalizes
them.
Thus,
community
life
is
a
form
of
struggle
and
resistance.
Resistance
to
a
society
that
considered
they
as
a
dysfunc.onal
organ.
Two
years
ago
I
came
to
Barreto
to
explore
how
communi.es
formed
within
fragmented
socie.es
as
a
mechanism
of
survival.
During
the
years,
I
have
witnessed
almost
everything
that
one
can
live:
love,
despair,
betrayal,
lust,
passion,
unity,
friendships,
empathy,
internal
and
external
conflicts,
forgiveness
and
a
sense
of
family.
Since
my
first
visit
in
2009,
I
con.nued
to
return
several
.mes
by
myself
un.l
March,
2011,
when
the
government
evicted
these
families
from
the
factory,
as
one
of
the
many
aUempts
to
clean
up
the
visible
poverty
of
the
center
of
Brazilian
ci.es.
This
is
mainly
due
to
the
upcoming
interna.onal
events
to
be
held
in
Brazil
in
the
next
years,
like
the
2014
World
Cup
and
the
2016
Olympic
Games.
Brazil
has
begun
to
teeter
on
the
brink
of
human
rights
viola.on
as
it
con.nues
with
the
displacement
of
favelas
in
a
reckless
manner.
By
the
.me,
these
families
relocated,
there
were
around
130
families
living
in
Barreto,
an
area
approximately
the
size
of
a
football
field.
Although
Barreto,
the
physical
place,
no
longer
exists,
the
community
remains.
The
families
that
once
lived
in
Barreto
now
live
together
in
the
“Jardim
das
Margaridas”,
a
marginalized
neighborhood
on
the
outskirts
of
the
city.
My
main
objec.ve
is
to
document
the
emo.onal
and
physical
.es
between
the
different
families,
how
the
community
is
managing
their
rela.onships
and
meanwhile,
how
they
con.nue
to
build
their
dignity.
This
community
is
a
metaphor
for
a
place
where
the
tragic
decomposi.on
of
human
life
combines
perfectly
with
the
magic
realism
of
La.n
America.
