Uma análise sobre os desafios da interseccionalidade do segmento fotográfico na região metropolitana de Natal

Abstract

The research analyzes the challenges faced by professionals in the photographic sector in the Metropolitan Region of Natal (RN), focusing on the intersectionalities involving socio-racial issues, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The study reflects on how these challenges may impact visual productions and the construction of collective and individual imagistic identities. Through a qualitative and quantitative approach, the research aims to understand how dissenting professionals — Black, Indigenous, women, and LGBTQIAPN+ — navigate barriers and privileges, highlighting the scarcity of official data on these intersectionalities. The study also proposes expanding the mapping of professionals and structuring new actions by the State and/or institutions to ensure more equity in access and permanence in the photographic market.
