Retrato falado

In Rio de Janeiro, the "Retrato Falado" (Sketch Portrait) project leads to narrative and photographic production and identity issues for young people in conflict with the law, who are interned in units of the State Department of Socio-educational Actions (Degase). Among the actions of the project, contemplated by the Rumos Itaú Cultural program, are the pinhole craft photography workshops, the production of self-portraits and the audio recording of narratives about the images produced. The craft photography workshop began in January 2017. Retrato Falado invited 15 detained adolescents in Degase to produce images of themselves, their lives, and to narrate their stories is a way of questioning and deconstructing stereotypes. The images produced by the project participants were part of a virtual publication in the second half of 2017. The audio recorded images, the spoken pictures, were displayed in a sound installation created by Tatiana Altberg during the exhibition Rumos 2015-2016 at Itau Cultural (SP), in May of 2017.
