Rebeca Binda is a Brazilian documentary photographer, researcher and curator whose work investigates issues related to environmental justice, women's stories and forced migration.
Her practice focuses on long-term stories and on traditional communities to highlight the resistance carried out by their women on protecting their culture, lives and territory.
For Rebeca, storytelling and collaboration are key tools to document and amplify the resistance movements mobilised by traditional communities situated in the frontline of the environmental crisis. In reclaiming ravaged shared spaces, communities demonstrate the importance of their ties and are better equipped to subvert false perceptions perpetuated by a colonial gaze.
Working predominantly with photography and with a great interest on participatory approach, Rebeca’s practice centres on building genuine connections with the participants she collaborates with.
