Abstract


In December 2019, the photographer Januário Garcia (1943-2021) gave a public interview in the annual forum Uma agenda para a Fotografia. In his interview, the photographer showed a portfolio of his work and built a thread of memory around selected photographs as well as related issues raised by the public that was at Centro Municipal de Artes Hélio Oiticica, in Rio de Janeiro. Throughout the interview, Garcia approached his professional background, the beginning of his career, his works, and his fight against racism. The publication of this interview is a unique opportunity to observe how the photographer organized his work into a visual series.
