Mário Macilau specialises in long-term photographic projects that highlight the voices of socially isolated groups (largely in Mozambique), casting a light on broader issues that impact their experience. Macilau explores the ways in which conditions of labour and cultural heritage are articulated through the environment in which people live, and the relationship that people have to that enviro🔯nment.
Nadinho Cossa, 34 years old (2021) depicts a man whose community needs wood and charcoal to sustain themse🦹lves while, in the process, deforestation is impacting their environment. Raising questiꦗons about conservation versus survival, Macilau comments on the realities of environmental exploitation and pernicious legacies of colonialism on indigenous communities.
