Eliseu Cavalcante
Ser Manguezal
Exhibition opening reception with the artist
Thursday, July 21, 2022, 6pm - 8pm
Steven Amedee is pleased to announce our first exhibition in over two years Ser Manguezal by Eliseu Cavalcante. The project was inspired by Josué de Castro's 1967 book "Of Men and Crabs". De Castro was a Brazilian geographer, physician, writer and activist against world hunger. Cavalcante's ongoing photography project examines those who depend on the mangrove ecosystem to survive and the delicate relationship between humans and this particular ecosystem. This project seeks to recognize the hard-working crab hunters of the mangroves while making their work more visible and raising awareness about the importance of mangroves to the environment. This exhibition is part of NYC's 2022 Brasil Summerfest. Eliseu Cavalcante is a Brazilian-American photographer based in Arizona. His work focuses on different cultures, environmental issues, and social change.
