In March 2019, I was holding the Collective Exhibition Resistência Vagalume, with the series “Quanzos Mãos Fazem um Maracatu?”, at the Murillo La Greca Museum, in Recife, when the results of the call for the Floripa na Foto Festival came out, announcing those selected for the exhibition “Vestiremos as Cores que Quisermos”.
In 2018 I started a photography course to develop my work that was offered by Escola Livre de Imagem, which was led by the dear Mateus Sá, Eduardo Queiroga and Dani Bracchi at the Murilo La Greca Museum for almost 1 year, with weekly meetings. In the group there were some faces known to both photographers and friends, and other people who during this period became companions of our non-collective collective Vagalumes.
