The Wider Image: Black Brazilians in remote ‘quilombo’ hamlets stand

Marizelha Carlos Lopes, 52, who is a local fisherwoman and environmental activist, laughs as she talks to a friend (not pictured) at Quilombo Bananeiras, Ilha de Mare, Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil August 18, 2022. Lopes' life, like that of many women living on Ilha da Mare, centers around the sea: she collects shellfish at dawn, shucks clams, and cracks crabs for meat that she feeds her family. "Being part of the census is a strategy for us, a strategy for resistance and change," she said. "One of our objectives is to escape an intentional invisibility." REUTERS/Amanda Perobelli
