About the Book
In 2012, right after moving from Brazil to Britain, I revisited the photographic archive I had produced when I was only visiting London, in 2011. There were many words in these photographs and by looking at them I wondered if I had been collecting words like someone who is trying to articulate a message, a story yet to tell. Actually, this was the way I found to regain the power I had lost as a newcomer facing difficulties to express myself in English. Thus, I used these photographed words to articulate a voice within the place of muteness and disclose stories hidden underneath experiences of displacement. In this way, I wrote this memoir by assembling photographs, changing their positions, groping for meanings through writing accented and fragmentary narratives.
