AT THE BORDERS OF MINAS

"At the borders of Minas" it's a project that explore the suburbs of Unaì, a city in the north-west of the brazilian state of Minas Gerais, not far from Brasilia. Many habitants of this area, main center of the agricolture's production of Brazil, are farmers. Their style of life it still attached at traditional values of the brazilian "Sertão" that inspired famous authors like João Guimarães Rosa. Through the images of the daily life and wide spaces, this project, carried between 2015 and 2017, wants to be source of reflection and illustrates the dynamics between rural tradition and the modernity that came from the actual urbanization of Unaì.

The project was possible thanks to Katia Snozzi, the curator Peter Keller and the Canvetto Luganese, where was exhibited in September-November 2017.
