Book Preview: The Brazilian Dream

Over the last six months I’ve been traveling throughout Brazil to photograph Brazilian youth for a new, upcoming book. ‘The Brazilian Dream’ is a portrayal of the rising new generation Brazilians, with focus on their dreams and desires. We’ve made a huge, qualitative research in four Brazilian cities; São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Porto Alegre.

The final report will include 25 case studies of ‘transformers’ – young people from all social groups, who are working passionately to improve their country. The research is made by BOX1824, and the report will later be part of a bigger, more extensive research on youth culture and consumer behavior across the Emerging Markets called The BRIC Project.
