Lucinete

by Camilla Pedretti

In Brazil, Lucinete is a female given name that can be interpreted as “she who brings light.” Over time, the name came to symbolize a quiet presence, a community shaped by the individual lights of the people who make it up.

Rather than merely documenting a social condition, Lucinete seeks to portray the everyday lives of the people encountered. It is a simple narrative, woven from the small gestures, affections, hopes, and the fragilities that make up the life of a community.
It is a reflection on growing up, absence, and the forms of resistance that emerge in everyday life.
