Ribeirinhos

The project Ribeirinhos: Amazonians of the Rivers is a visual story about a traditional people of Brazil. Ribeirinhos is the name given to this population living along the rivers of Amazonia. Patient with the land, lenient on fishing, they live to the rhythm of the floods, on the river roads, along its incessant flows. The Ribeirinhos are aware of this: in these lands, the elements dictate their rules. Letting themselves be carried along by the currents, their existence participates in the concert of life in Amazonia. This is the harmony between this people and their environment that this project documents, in communities along the Rio Negro and the Amazon.
