Summary:

Asfixia, the first work of Candice Carvalho Feio, is a manifesto book that features a personal and poetic account of the pandemic and anti-racist protests that emerged in the United States after the murder of George Floyd, asphyxiated by a police officer. The work is a clipping of the two crises that broke out simultaneously in New York City in 2020: pandemic and anti-racist protests, a "book-report-poetry (which) brings us closer to the emotional experience that perhaps opens the paths of true Abolition", as described in Caetano Veloso's preface. The story told in a chronological sequence of photographs and texts brings, a the character of reportage and the personal experience of the author. The graphic documentation was made during the coverage of the journalist for the channels Globonews and TV Globo. Candice works in the station's New York office, where he has lived for almost eight years. The pages of Asphyxia catch this historic and dramatic moment in which the health crisis and endemic racism have come together to uncover the centuries-old wounds of a people who, like us, have faced the anomaly of slavery, racial prejudice and which to this day is forced to take to the streets to manifest its "Blacks Lives matter" manifesto. It is the picture of popular mobilization as an act of not submission to death. The only possible option for those protesters. "They protested as those who carried the fate of the people in their hands,'' describes the author.
