On April 5th, the Global Lives Project presented four 10-minute shorts based on our 24 hour shoots from Malawi, Brazil, the US and Japan in Jardim Iporanga, a semi-formal housing settlement on the southern periphery of São Paulo and home of hip-hip singer Rael Feliciano, subject of our Brazilian shoot. Exhibited publicly for the first time, footage from the first four shoots of The Global Lives Projects was well received by the residents of Jardim Iporanga located on the periphery of the largest city of South America.
