hand bound zine about feels of the context i live in

(or the amazon region of brazil)

"in this forgotten home, never mentioned or remembered"

"it comforts me:"

"the people"

"their memories"

"and their lived experiences"

and the fact that, despite everything, it's mine"

"the north* is my home"

*refers to the northen region of brazil, where the amazon region is located

front cover + first page "forgetting as a memory"

back cover + end ramblings

it says "this zine was made as an experiment for the zine club of november, with the theme home, by biblioteca de zines, a brazilian digital archive for independent zines."

it also says "the northen region of brazil, spefically my state of amapá, has always been my home and i'm grateful for it. the outside perspective that comes from other regions never sees us as protagonists or people beyond the steriotypes. taht's why, this exploration in zine form can also be titled "the forgetting as the memory", in relation to how we're viewed, or in fact not viewed at all, by people other than our own"

zine made with my own photography work, tape, pen and some acrylic paint. hand bound by me with simple thread and needle!

shoutout to my amazon region girlies and beyond

PLEASE READ! Situation in Amapá, Brazil

#SOSAmapa

I don’t think i’ve seen anything about this on tumblr yet but there’s more and more tweets about this: apparently, the state of Amapá in Brazil has been without water, electricity and communications for THREE DAYS (since Tuesday November 3rd, 2020)! And the government is doing nothing!

There’s reports of huge lines to access water points and people having to bath in the river!

Translation (through google so it’s probably inaccurate):

For those who do not live in the Amapa state, know the absurdity that occurs at this moment:

1. We have 16 municipalities, 13 are without electricity and it will be 2 days, including the capital, which has approximately 500 thousand inhabitants. 2. There is no running water 3. There is no internet (sometimes Claro and Vivo work) 4. Gas stations cannot operate without power, so we don't have gasoline either 5. You cannot withdraw money from electronic bank cards 6. You can't buy food with a card 7. We are at a peak of contamination and crowding in hospitals due to the pandemic. They are running by generator. We don't know for how long. The surgeries were interrupted. Cheer, pray, pray, send, positive vibration to the sick.
