Valda Nogueira is an independent photographer and visual artist based in Brazil with a background in humanistic documentary photography. Communities, territories and culture are the central themes of her experimental and documentary projects. She is visual arts student and member of Farpa multimedia collective, Women Photograph, Diversify.Photo, Girl Gaze and MFON Women.
Due to her humanistic background, Nogueira could understand the role of photography in fighting against the invisibility suffered by ethnic groups, as well as the importance of the imagery in the construction of new types of narratives about these groups, largely reported under unfavorable stereotypes. Through photography, she searchs to highlight the meaning of what is being human, in a respectful way, in a process where photography and coexistence are closely connected.
Valda regularly shows her work in publications and exhibitions in Brazil and worldwide.
