Collectively\u003cbr\u003ethese materials create a new dialogue about the Portuguese fascist regime of the past—and the\u003cbr\u003eresistance to it—on the 50th anniversary of its demise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1949, Pina’s grandfather Guilherme da Costa Carvalho—a young communist militant— was sent\u003cbr\u003eto the camp. Later that year Guilherme’s parents were granted unprecedented permission to visit\u003cbr\u003etheir son and using a Rolleiflex camera they photographed all the living prisoners and the graves of\u003cbr\u003ethe ones who had died in the camp. This extensive visual record—the only one ever made inside the\u003cbr\u003econcentration camp—was created with the intent of reporting back to the families of the other\u003cbr\u003eprisoners held in the camp or had died there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeventy years later, in 2019, Pina began investigating a box in his family archive containing the\u003cbr\u003enegatives, contact sheets, vintage prints of these pictures made inside the camp, along with related\u003cbr\u003eletters and telegrams sent from his grandfather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41607894106209,"sku":"9781915423375","price":59.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28627164.jpg?v=1723150953","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781915423375-tarrafal","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
