Rio Grandes
Origins of the word “Sertão” in language and literature: a corruption of ‘desertão’, from the Latin desertus, interior, heart of the lands.
The Funarte Marc Ferrez Photography Award is considered one of the greatest recognitions in the field in Brazil. The selection is made by Funarte, through a public notice, where hundreds of projects from all over the country compete. Pablo Pinheiro (Natal/RN) was awarded this Photography Prize in its 14th edition, with "Uma Tradição nos Rio Grandes – the image of the Contemporary Cowboy in Transition," a field research aimed at crossing contemporary images of traditional cowboys from Rio Grande do Norte and Rio Grande do Sul.
With this project, Pablo Pinheiro proposes a reflection on the importance of the cowboy figure for the culture, economy, and memory of these two Brazilian states, which will be published through a book (trilingual – Portuguese, English, and Spanish), in an online format, available for free download via the Internet. Additionally, as a result of the project, the photographer will travel through 06 Brazilian capitals: Porto Alegre, São Paulo, Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro, João Pessoa, and Natal. All actions will take place in 2015.
