ABOUT
Mark

Maurício Hora

The pictures featured in this book were taken at the Moinho Fluminense mill
in 2019 and 2021 by Brazilian photographer Maurício Hora.




Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1968, he is a third-generation resident of the Morro da Providência community, which is the oldest favela in Brazil. A photographer and community leader, he spends his time striving to enhance the lives of local residents while helping preserve the heritage of the Rio Docklands. In 2013, he set up a visual arts cooperative: Zona Imaginária. Working closely with French photographer JR, he set up the Casa Amarela Education, Art and Social Support Center in his community. He is also a resident of the Quilombo Pedra do Sal, a community that is still today home to the descendants of the runaway slaves who founded this settlement.

His life story is recounted in the Morro da Favela graphic biography illustrated by André Diniz and published in Brazil by Barba Negra (LeYa publishing house) in 2011. It was also launched in France (Photo de la Favela, pub. Des Ronds dans l’O) and the UK (Picture a Favela, pub. Selfmade Hero) a year later, followed by Portugal in 2013 (pub. Polvo); and Poland in 2017 (Favela W Kadzre, pub. Wydawnictwo Mandioca). In 2012, it was awarded the HQ Mix Trophy in the Special Brazilian Edition category.

Maurício has taken part in several exhibitions, particularly the collective entitled Do Valongo à Favela: Imaginário e Periferia, curated by Clarissa Diniz and Rafael Cardoso (Museum Of Art, 2015). He has also had several one-man shows: O Olho da Favela sobre a Cidade (José Bonifácio Culture Center, 1998), Morro da Favela à Providência de Canudos (BNDES Culture Center, 2017) and Zona Imaginária (2021).

He also coordinates workshops and educational projects for youngsters, focused on photography and multimedia production.
