Description: Curated by Adriana Cravo, the exhibition features 26 photographs printed in fine art that portray human memories of one of the greatest environmental tragedies in the country: the rupture of the Fundão dam, which fatally killed 19 people and displaced hundreds of families in Mariana (Minas Gerais) in 2015. The disturbing exhibition will be presented to the public by the Oscar Niemeyer Museum, fulfilling the role of promoting reflection through the lens of this talented artist who, with such sensitivity, turned indignation into artʺ, explains MON's director-president, Juliana Vosnika. According to the photographer, his attempt was to bring to this work an iconographic memory that time froze. They are objects that stopped at that moment when the mud arrived. The eternal moment that represents the end of that society ʺ, summarizes Cravo.
