Brazilian photographer Rosa Gauditano’s archive spans over forty years going back to Brazil of the 70s – a country under military dictatorship.

Rooted in the tradition of Latin American photography, seamlessly merging documentary work with the aesthetic creation of photographic art Rosa Gauditano has always let her camera speak for the neglected or abandoned – those on the margins of society.

Rosa Gauditano has never shied away from – at the timeย  – controversial subjects on the fringe of society like herย 1976ย project ‘Prostitutas’ or the ‘1979 Forbidden Lives’ project.

Her work has been widely exhibited and published and is held in a number of public and private collection in Brazil, Chile, Mexico,ย France, Switzerland, Argentina and the USA.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ el_id=”photographer-intro-links-col”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”artists-work”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”A Mesma Luta (The Same Fight)” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Starting in 1978 escalating industrial action formed an important part of the democratic political movement in Brazil.
