… an archive of cultural expressions

Landless Voices hosts a series of multi-disciplinary and multi-region research projects into the cultural expressions emerging from landlessness - the experience of the mass movement and re-settlement of peoples.

Else R P Vieira's archive on landlessness in Brazil opens the series.

Photographs and captions from Sebastião Salgado's Terra: Struggle of the Landless (Phaidon Press, 1998)

Else Vieira's archive includes photographs and captions from Sebastião Salgado's Terra: Struggle of the Landless. The captions weave a verbal narrative of the drama of Brazil’s dispossessed and migrants and of the various stages of the struggle for land.
