Povo de Santo - Fotolivro jornalístico das práticas de religiões afro-brasileiras em Campo Grande (MS)

Abstract

The photobook Povo de Santo explores, through photographic, sound, audiovisual and textual records, the richness and diversity of African-based religious practices present in Campo Grande–MS, focusing on Umbanda, Candomblé and Quimbanda. Guided by the methodology of participant observation, the work documents the routine of leaders and practitioners, seeking to represent the cultural and spiritual elements of these religions at the local level. The creation of the photobook aims to combat prejudice and promote a more inclusive and sensitive understanding of Afro-Brazilian religiosity, highlighting the role of these practices in resistance and cultural construction.
