CATA - CLIMATE CHANGE AND WASTE PICKERS

CATA is a collaboration between the visual arts, sociology and popular education through the international network WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing), represented by Sonia Dias, The Sheffield University, England and  the artist/photographer Verônica Alkmim França, who has been developing visual art with different groups on topics related to environmental sustainability. This collaboration allows for rich exchanges, therefore, bringing complementary languages closer together. On the one hand, WIEGO researches, supports and monitors the daily activity of the waste pickers, who collect and resignify the waste we produce. On the other hand, these complementary languages were sensitively captured by Verônica Alkmim França.
