From the Himalayas to the Amazon, Vitor's ethnographic research focuses on a variety of topics, including: sacred rituals as mechanisms of resistance, shamanism & spiritual connection to place, traditional knowledge as tools against climate change.

Photos

​

While fieldwork notes provide important context about peoples' lived experiences, photography communicates the ineffable by giving cultural expressions such as 'sacred rituals' a voice and meaning of its own. Vítor uses an experimental approach to photography based on his study of visual anthropology.
