Tecendo memórias: Reportagem fotográfica sobre as ruínas da indústria têxtil em Rio Largo

Abstract

The photo report Weaving memories: Photo report on the ruins of the textile industry in Rio Largo is a documentary record of what remains of the architectural site of the Companhia Alagoana de Fiação e Tecido (CAFT), in Rio Largo, a municipality in the state of Alagoas. The lack of conservation of the city's historic buildings, the apparent decline of the region's culture, and the absence of policies to preserve local memory were the main motivations for producing this documentation. In addition to proposing to rescue the history of the CAFT architectural site, the photo report seeks to understand the urban transformations that have occurred over time. It is important to highlight the personal connection that the author of this project has with the subject, through her experience in the city, from childhood to the present day.
