Dust
Audiovisual Design

Brazil has the biggest population of domestic workers in the world. Seven million, mostly poor afro descendent women operate in invisible spaces of Brazilian households. The social invisibility of domestic workers is an issue particularly evident in Brazil, where I grew up, but which is also present at different levels of intensity around the globe. Dust suggests an alternative view on the subject as it offers the perspective of a child growing up under the care of Sandra, unaware of her social invisibility and transfixed by every detail of her. Dust places itself within the social context of Brazilian lower-class professionals and aims to deconstruct the normalised behaviour regarding their existence.
