São Paulo – “In Brazil’s North, the earth is red, the air is warm, and the faces carry the memory of winds and rains. After spending part of his life in Manaus and returning to his homeland, Lebanon, Menassa regularly visits the Amazonian capital. “Through his lenses, the photographer shapes the soul of Manaus and the Amazon into striking black-and-white compositions. He captures emotion in every detail, portraying the textures of the forest and the pulse of the city,” the statement adds. The exhibition is curated by Jacques Menassa and Leonardo Novellino, the latter also serving as curator of the Manaus City Museum.
