RODRIGO OLIVEIRA

Rodrigo Oliveira is a portrait photographer based in Rio de Janeiro. His photographs illustrate the anthropological diversity of our world, exploring the various ways in which humans express their identities and cultures. Rodrigo is currently documenting the black queer community inhabiting favelas and suburbs of Rio de Janeiro. A body of work that empowers a minority within minority group that has been often marginalised. The project aims to deconstruct the misrepresentation of black queer lives in the media through the expression of queer culture, gender bending identities and social resistance. 'Carioca, Black & Queer' celebrates black queer bodies and their identities through fashion, lifestyle and artistic expression.
