Every day, after school schedule, my class, from Escola Municipal Lúcia Miguel Pereira, got together and played soccer next where we studied. Angelo, Márcio, Bruno Thamillys, Alex, Ramon and I played until very late in the afternoon. Few friends stayed until the end, but some kept playing. I was the worse player, because of that they’ve never chosen me for the first match, so I had to play the next match.

If it was me
Who asked the first question? Who made the world? If it was God, who made God? Who said the first word?
These questions, and much more, made by the writer Clarice Lispector in her text “I’m a question” was the beginning to motivate us to create more questions about ourselves. The result was the exhibition that you will see here.
These images presented in this exhibition, with opening in December 21st, 2013 until April 29th, 2014, are self-portraits taken in artisanal photographic workshop coordinated by Hand in the Can project invited byMoreira Salles Institute in partnership with C4 Rocinha Park Library (Park Library from Rocinha). What is a pinhole? What is a self-portrait. These questions can be asked by Clarice Lispector or by yourself.
