João Farkas (1955, São Paulo, Brazil) has been documenting for over 30 years the relationship between humans and their context, within landscapes and the impacts caused by human existence in some regions of Brazil, and through popular costumes, culture and festivity. In particular, his series of portraits Caretas de Maragojipe and The Muquiranas document collective creative processes between common costumes and patterns and individual creativity.
