SEBASTIAN LISTE – URBAN QUILOMBO
2013-05-13Urban Quilombo documents life inside Barreto, the occupied chocolate factory that became home to an entire community. Sebastian Liste tells their story in a mythical, almost magical, visual narrative. A town within a town, Barreto was a poor society, but one that also gave meaning and a sense of control to its inhabitants. It provided strength and courage for seeking new ways of surviving within the urban environment. Often counter-cultural and rebellious, the system of values and relationships of Barreto developed until the eviction of its occupiers in 2011. Now, they’ve been moved to the extra-radius, and Barreto has been cleaned to make way for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
