The above images are the results of what happens when photographer JR takes things up a level. He has focussed his attention on women, taking photographs of women who are the relatives of victims of violent crime. He then displayed their large portraits in the 'Morro da Providencia' favela, one of the most violent of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These images were taken in August, 2008.
This project has already taken place in Sudan, Sierra Leone, Kenya and Liberia, and will be taken to India, Cambodia, Laos and Morocco after Brazil.

Seriously What The F is up with everyone hating on peeps with Ginger Hair?! I have jet black hair and would love to have my hair that colour, I don't mind being picked on I was the only black girl in a white girl, so you can't say shit to me!

WOWWWWWWW
BIG POST
GREAT SPOT A nd yes, i can say from first hand experience rio is unbelievable!
spring 2009 I'm goin to Fortaleza and the surrounding countryside cities in Bahia, Sao Paulo, and Rio.
Can't wait.
The photos are phenomenal.
Mrs. Andre, I was wondering about that. At first I thought you were saying something like that you were meant to be a Black girl, but were trapped inside the shell of a white girl, similar to what trannies say about gender LOL. (then I scrolled down. Oooh!)
IMO, and I think everyone else would agree with me, GK's hair is rad, and I might add, looks hair model healthy. Novado is just being a hater.
Rio - Damn... Too much. The place is magical.
Regarding the pictures - too big. That's some very impressive thinking going on there.
Regarding the women - you will go there not looking for your future wife but you WILL find her. End of.
I like you booga. We should have a baby together.
loving the post...I care and I would LOVE to go to Rio...dreams
GK- fed-ex your contribution to LA, let's make it happen! J/p lmao...
i do hope the baby/babies are ginger.
Aren't gingers in danger of becoming extinct or did I dream that?
Beware the dangers of 'Global Intermingling'

Ginger fed ex babies sounds like the future. JR is serious by the way. I'm a fan. Props to Specks.
