Matria
Web de Matria
MATRIA is the recognition of the land as the only homeland, the land in which my mother, my father, my grandmothers and all my ancestors sunk their hands into to feed us, just as 1.2 billion peasants continue to do today, feeding the planet. It is also a tribute to the peasant woman, the heart and engine of family farming, who, throughout the world, guarantees food sovereignty and security.
MATRIA is a cry of warning against the aggressions suffered by Mother Earth on the part of agribusiness or large-scale mining, fundamental pillars of a speculative economy that finds huge dividends in food and the savage exploitation of natural resources. It is also a cry for help in the face of human rights violations suffered by peasants around the world.
At the epicenter of this situation are women, who suffer additional problems such as the difficulty of access to land, a decisive issue that leads to structural discrimination (family, social and economic) that generates specific forms of violence.
Such is the transcendence of the peasantry’s problem that in December 2018 the United Nations approved the Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas.
This photographic work proposes a visual account of the reality that the Declaration aims to protect, developing four of the most relevant rights that it encumbrances and documenting situations in which these rights are violated in five different scenarios on the planet. It also provides the visual traces of the alternatives proposed by the rural community, with special attention to those in which women play a leading role.

MST: Land, Justice and Rights
The Landless Rural Workers Movement – MST, a Brazilian social movement that fights for agrarian reform and social justice.
It originates in opposition to the more concentrated and exclusionary model of agrarian reform imposed by the military regime, including selective agricultural modernization, which excluded small farmers, mainly in the 1970s.
The MST fundamentally seeks to redistribute unproductive lands.
The group is among the largest social movements in Latin America with a membership of 1.5 million landless peasants organised across 24 of Brazil’s 27 states.
The group is among the main social movements in Latin America, with 1,500 people in the country, organized in 24 of the 27 states in Brazil.
Since the movement’s creation in January 1984, they were killed 1.722 activists of the movement.

Amazon Deforestation
2019 was the worst year in the history of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Driven by the official speech by brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, several groups that operate in illegal logging, illegal gold mining and cattle raising in irregular areas felt motivated and safe to intensify their predatory activities. The result of this process has been the rise of agrarian conflicts and deaths of environmental and indigenous activists. Specialists have detected in 2019 more than 80,000 fire points in the brazilian Amazon. The fires were more intense in August, September and October and caused an international climate crisis. Thousands of young people and environmental activists took to the streets of several global capitals to protest against Brazilian environmental conservation policies. I documented over three months the burning and the main pillars of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest such as: livestock expansion, illegal logging, gold mining, and indigenous communities under pressure.

Victor Moriyama
Is a Brazilian photojournalist based in São Paulo covering South America and the Amazon rainforest for international press and NGOS.
His works are based on a humanist photograph committed to documenting the processes of violence that prevail in social and environmental relations in Brazil. Agrarian conflicts, deforestation and conservation of tropical forests and their biodiversity, genocide of indigenous populations, acceleration of climate change are themes that have guided his photographic production in recent years.
Concerned about the scarcity of in-depth reports on conflicts in the Amazon, Victor created in 2019 the project @historiasamazonicas, a community of Latin American photographers committed to documenting contemporary processes taking place in the Amazon and defining the present. His idea is to expand world knowledge and engage global society with problems within the largest tropical forest in the world.

The Human Cost of Agrotoxins
In 1996 the Argentinian government approved, only relying on studies of the Monsanto Company, the cultivation of transgenic soybeans and the use of glyphosate herbicide spray, which was employed on resistant genetically-modified crops. With nearly two decades of glyphosate spraying affecting directly or indirectly one third of the country’s population.
Argentina has become a field study in toxic disaster with hundreds of scientific studies and medical surveys confirming the herbicide’s lethal impact. The Human Cost of Agrotoxins documents the impact of 20 years of indiscriminate use of agrochemicals in the rural northeast of Argentina, and their devastating impact.

Event Details
Both sides of the wall
With the dictator Francisco Franco dying, King Hassan II gave the coup de grace to the Spanish presence in Western Sahara with the Green March (1975). The Spanish presence was short-lived, and the last of its troops took to the air in what became known as Operation Swallow (February 1976).
Since then almost half a century has passed and the process of decolonisation of the Sahara which the United Nations should demand is still stuck in the desert sands. There is not the slightest interest.
Spain, as the power officially responsible for the territory, and Morocco, as the de facto occupier, feel comfortable amidst the indifference of the international community.
The Alaouite kingdom built a very long wall in the middle of the desert to try to prevent the Saharawis from returning and prevent possible attacks by a Polisario Front whose military capability, without external support, is almost non-existent.
Over and above the drama of tens of thousands of refugees who have been abandoned all these decades in the refugee camps near Tindouf (Algeria), control of natural resources such as phosphates, sand, fishing and hydrocarbons continues to be in the hands of Rabat and is not attracting much interest from either the United Nations or the rest of the countries.
This text could perfectly well have been written several decades ago without losing any of its validity. Africa’s oldest colony is not a regular occurrence.

Green Earth
The problem of land tenure in Colombia is the country’s oldest conflict. The struggle for control over the land’s wealth, and the right to exploit its resources, is an ongoing dispute in which the weakest link struggles for survival.
For decades the mines of Muzo, the emerald capital of the world, have produced an immense fortune for their owners. At the end of the last century, several conflicts between the emerald leaders took place to take control of the territory during the so-called ‘Green Wars’. In those days, the ‘barequeros’ –emerald seekers– gathered by the thousands around the Río Minero valley, hoping to find under the dark soil the “gem” that would bring them out of extreme poverty. After Colombian environmental laws prohibited the dumping of leftover grit and rocks from mining excavations into the river, only a few dozen “barqueros” still continue to remove the debris with their bare hands.

El escritor de un país sin librerías
Presents the protagonist, Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel (Guinea Ecuatorial). Direction: Marc Serena Duration: 1:20 h.Equatorial Guinea is a young country. It gained independence from Spain 52 years ago and has now become one of the most isolated states in Africa. We are accompanied by its most translated writer, Juan Tomás ÁvilaLaurel, who in 2011 had to take refuge in Spain for denouncing the dictatorship of Teodoro Obiang, considered one of the most repressive in the world. Through his books, we enter a corner of Africa where we find some of the most invisible victims of Franco’s regime and which, even now, suffers the consequences of two centuries of colonial domination. A film that combines animation, archive images and music by the country’s most international singer, Concha Buika.

Matria
MATRIA es el reconocimiento de la tierra como única patria, la tierra en la que mi madre, mi padre, mis abuelas y todos mis antepasados hundieron las manos para alimentarnos, tal y como lo siguen haciendo 1200 millones de campesinos que en la actualidad alimentan al planeta. Es además un homenaje a la mujer campesina, corazón y motor de la agricultura familiar, que, a lo largo y ancho del planeta, garantiza la soberanía y la seguridad alimentarias.
MATRIA es un grito de alerta ante las agresiones que sufre la madre tierra por parte de la agroindustria o la gran minería, pilares fundamentales de una economía especulativa que encuentra en la alimentación y la explotación salvaje de los recursos naturales ingentes dividendos. Es también un grito de socorro frente a las violaciones de los derechos humanos que sufre el colectivo campesino en el mundo.
En el epicentro de esta situación se encuentra la mujer, que sufre problemas añadidos como la dificultad en el acceso a la tierra, cuestión determinante que propicia una discriminación estructural (familiar, social y económica) que genera violencias específicas.
Tal es la trascendencia del problema del campesinado que en diciembre de 2018 Naciones Unidas aprobaba la Declaración sobre los derechos de los campesinos y otras personas que trabajan en zonas rurales.
Este trabajo fotográfico propone un relato visual de la realidad que la Declaración pretende proteger, desarrollando cuatro de los derechos más relevantes que encumbra y documentando situaciones en las que estos son violados en cinco escenarios distintos del planeta. También se aportan las huellas visuales de las alternativas propuestas desde la comunidad rural, con especial atención a aquellas protagonizadas por la mujer.

“Impossible to differentiate one day from another. Difficult to trust that something will happen that can change things. The routine of survival is imposed on the misery of knowing that, after a long journey, after resisting bombings and enduring the harshness of the road, we arrived at this situation. Europe became an immense disappointment, almost unassimilable, for the “lucky” ones who arrived alive in the Old Continent.“
ATRAPADAS tells the story of Somod, Aicha, Amal, Anin, Zahraa, and Hasisa, Syrian women refugees in the port of Piraeus in Greece, one of the largest camps for refugees fleeing the war in Syria.
Two actresses give body and voice to the real witnesses of these women who tell us about their flight from war: the hard journey to Piraeus, hunger, rape, sanitary conditions, separation of families … They unravel their lives with words.
ATRAPADAS relies on the story of the actresses and everyday objects, which illustrate the narrative and take on a strong symbolic power.

The Migration Crisis
Marina Dos Santos
was born in Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil. She is the daughter of small farmers and as a teenager decided to go to the Convent as the only way to continue studying. Then, in 1988, when she was doing an internship at the convent, she met the Movimento Sem Terra – MST.
The MST is a Popular Movement that fights for land, Agrarian Reform, and the transformation of society. Today after 37 years of organization, struggle, and resistance, it organizes landless families and occupies unproductive large estates, which do not fulfill their social function, in 24 states of Brazil and organizes, also, settlements, conquered areas, mainly for food production. Its main project is summarized in the Agrarian Program, the result of the last congress held in 2014.
In 1996, she was transferred by the National Directorate of the MST to help organize the Movement in the state of Rio de Janeiro, where she contributed to the consolidation of the Movement.
In 2006, she assumed the coordination of the Movement’s National Office, in Brasilia. She was responsible for the follow-up of the national agenda negotiations with the Federal Government, the systematic follow-up of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI of the MST in the National Congress), and the organizational follow-up of the Via Campesina do Brasil.
Via Campesina is an international movement of coordination and struggle of peasants, small and medium farmers, rural women, indigenous peoples, rural youth, artisanal fisherfolk, afro-descendant peoples, agricultural workers, and rural wage earners. It is an autonomous, plural, multicultural and independent movement with no political, economic, or other affiliation.
At the end of her mandate in Brasilia, she was transferred to Rio Grande do Norte, to manage the organization, formation, and articulation of society in the state, also in neighboring states, and throughout the northeastern region.
In 2012, she returned to the state of Rio de Janeiro, and during this period, in addition to attending university, she worked in the Mass Front sector of the state and the National Direction of the Movement. He was a representative in the International Coordination of Via Campesina for South America until July 2017. She was also responsible for the follow-up of the Latin American Coordination of Field Organizations (CLOC).
Since 1993, Marina has traveled to 33 countries, always with the MST and Via Campesina. For the last six years, together with another comrade, she has been coordinating the MST’s Mass Front Sector, acting in the National Directorate with this responsibility. He is also a member of the Pedagogical Political Commission of the Florestan Fernandes National School for the Mass Front Sector, is part of the National Coordination of Via Campesina do Brasil for the MST, and at the international level accompanies the Via Campesina Working Group: Land, Water and Territory, a group that is also responsible for the campaign for Agrarian Reform and against transnati Since 1993, Marina has traveled to 33 countries, always with the MST and Via Campesina.
