Here are some photographs from Boaventura de Sousa Santos' recent trip to Brazil, where he accompanied social organisations, journalists, and academics in multiple dialogues on democracy, social justice, and contemporary challenges.
Throughout his stay, he participated in conferences, interviews, public debates, and meetings that reaffirmed the importance of critical thinking. One of the most significant moments of the trip was his visit to popular neighbourhoods such as Maré, where he shared in the launch of new public works.
The trip was also marked by meetings with long-standing colleagues and debates that seek to broaden political horizons in a time of uncertainty.
These images capture just a part of the fruitful days spent in Brazil, a country that remains a focal point for Boaventura de Sousa Santos' intellectual practice and ethical commitment.
