_________________________________________________________________________________
The Purpose
We are Nika, Toma and Anna. We are from Kyiv, Ukraine and we are travelers and photographers. We are going to make a trip, gathering experience and information about Brazilians.
Our goal is to unveil the true essence of the contemporary happiness of people who live in Brazil, the beauty of Brazilian culture, the magnitude of traditions, and to expose the way, which unites Brazilians in one of the happiest nations in the world.
Our plan is to create a photobook, short documentary and exhibition representing Brazilian people of different age, origin, who live in diverse conditions, have different past, present and dreams about future. But really, our ultimate goal is to explore the way of happiness in their lives. Our route has certain destinations (big and small cities like Porto Alegre, Florianopolis, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Recife) but as usual our way is full of improvisation.
