Abstract:

This article examines a set of photographic productions created by six teenagers, living in a favela on the outskirts of São Paulo, seeking to reflect on their perception of the territory in which they live. Favelas are the home of a large part of São Paulo’s population, an urban phenomenon found on the outskirts of large metropolises. A favela is a fertile environment that nourishes feelings of belonging, solidarity, and resistance in its residents, even if they are affected by social inequality, violence, poverty, and the challenge of accessing basic needs such as health, safety, culture, education, etc. Youths, who also live and move through the streets and alleys of the favelas, have a specific look at their own housing environment.This is a qualitative exploratory study that uses photography as a research tool. The photographic and cartographic productions of the participants reflect different understandings of the territory, revealing dimensions of leisure, community organization, sociability, precariousness of the sewage and garbage collection systems, among others. The creation of visual narratives allowed different aspects of the favela to be exposed, discussed, and analyzed.
