The news from a Mozambique landfill site – Mário Macilau’s best photograph ‘The men who roam this dump play an important role in the economy, but they are marginalised. I was warned they were “uncivilised”, that they would steal my camera, attack me, even kill me’There’s a giant landfill site near Maputo, Mozambique’s capital city, that covers 42 acres and rises to 15 metres in height. Young men roam it hoping to find things that are either valuable or can be recycled. These people play an important role in the local economy but they are marginalised by Mozambican society. When I started thinking about photographing the tip roamers, people warned me it would be dangerous: they are “uncivilised”, they said, they would steal my camera, attack me, even kill me.At the beginning of any project, I do lots of research. I need to understand a place and its people, establish contacts who can introduce me to new communities, and build trust with whoever I’m photographing. I don’t work like a photojournalist: I’m not tied to strict deadlines. I like to spend time with the people I photograph.

These stunning images by Mozambique photographer Mário Macilau document religious practices in contemporary Mozambique, centering around the practice of “animism” or the belief that everything has a soul or a spirit. The striking, narrative compositions in these black and white images are typical of Macilau’s style which often captures vivid and unexpected perspectives on social issues as well as moving and intimate portraits of everyday people and life. Macilau is considered one of the “key figures” among the new generation of Mozambican artists. His works have been exhibited throughout Africa as well as worldwide. He is also the latest recipient of our Cultures of Resistance (CoR) Awards! Learn more about his work here: https://culturesofresistancefilms.com/mario-macilau/ Photos: Mário Macilau

BBC says:

Mario Macilau was 14 and living on the streets of Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, when he got his hands on a camera. He taught himself to use it - and 12 years later he was holding a solo exhibition in Lisbon.
