S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Inf\u00e2ncia Refugiada \u2013 Retratos de um Conflito<\/em> (Refugee Childhood \u2013 Portraits of a Conflict), by the Brazilian photographer Karine Garc\u00eaz<\/a>, will be released August 19 at the Cear\u00e1 International Book Biennial<\/a>. Garc\u00eaz took the photos from 2012 on, in Middle East countries including Palestine. In 2014 and 2015, she went to Gaza; Beirut, Lebanon; Gaziantep, Turkey; and Yarmouk, Syria.<\/p>\n

The photographs depict the lives of refugees (pictured above<\/em>), especially children and teenagers. They were taken while Garc\u00eaz\u2019s was traveling with a mission by Dutch NGO Al Wafaa Campaign, and have been featured previously in the Refugee Childhood<\/em><\/a> exhibit at S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Museum of Immigration.<\/p>\n

All texts are in English and Portuguese, and art by the children in the photos is also shown. \u201cThe publication includes drawings the kids gave me as presents. They will be in the book for readers to color them up. The texts that accompany the photos address the relationship of environmental displacement in Brazil\u2019s Northeast when it comes to asylum,\u201d the photographer told ANBA. On the day of the launch, she\u2019ll join a conversation and a signing session.<\/p>\n

The book was partially crowdfunded, as previously reported by\u00a0ANBA<\/a>, in combination with investment by the author herself. Garc\u00eaz also relied on support from the government of the State of Cear\u00e1. In return for that, she\u2019ll donate 10% of the copies to the Agentes de Leitura<\/em> (Agents of Reading) program, of the Secretariat for Culture of the State of Cear\u00e1, which will distribute the book across the state.<\/p>\n

The launch date, September 19th<\/sup>, marks the International Humanitarian Day. \u201c[The date] is an homage to S\u00e9rgio Vieira de Melo, the former United Nations High Commissioner killed in a bombing in Iraq. This year, the UN chose the theme \u2018humanitarian women.\u2019 I picked this date to discuss this and to draw attention to the importance of this humanitarian work. We\u2019ll also discuss photography, which is also celebrated on this day,\u201d explained Garc\u00eaz.<\/p>\n

The 132-page book is already available from the Portraits of a Conflict<\/em> project\u2019s website<\/a>. A print copy goes for BRL 45, and the e-book version is available for BRL 35. The preface is by Wajih Abderrahman, a former dean at Jordan\u2019s Isra University from 2006 to 2012.<\/p>\n

After the Biennial, the photographer will promote the book in events across different states of Brazil. Check out the dates and locations:<\/p>\n
