"Vaqueiro de Gibão" is a visual anthropology and photography book that portrays the traditional figure of the northeastern Brazilian cowboy. Resulting from over a decade of fieldwork and shared experience in the backlands of Rio Grande do Norte, the book weaves powerful images with sensitive reflections on identity, memory, and territory. Through an authorial aesthetic, it creates a dialogue between art and ethnography, revealing the symbolic strength of the vaqueiros de gibão.
