The feast of St. Benedict, known as Marujada, occurs every December in the city of Bragança, in
the state of Pará, Brazil. One of the aesthetic characteristics of this event is manifested in the dress
of devotees, known as sailors. The peculiar hat, the white clothes, the bare feet and the details in red
(or blue), create the identity of this manifestation and constitute a singular expression of imagery.
Although the colors are predominant in this cultural manifestation, attracting the attention of a great
part of the people who participate in the festivity, the objective of this article was to construct a
photographic narrative beyond the colors and, when constructing black and white images, we grasp
the deepest part of the feast: the relationship with the sacred. This article is an unfolding of doctoral
thesis that sought to reflect upon the relationship with the technological excess experienced today,
and how certain images can redeem us from the violence embedded in this excess. All images are
authored by Helio Figueiredo da Serra Netto and were built in Marujada of 2015. |
