CONTURSI, Ana  and  ALLALTUNI, Zaira. PHOTOACTIVISM, EMPATHY AND THE POLITICS OF AFFECTIONS INTERVIEW WITH SADO PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTIVE. Índex [online]. 2021, n.11, pp.10-24. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.vi11.404.

This interview is a product of the dialogue with SADO, a photographic collective from the City of La Plata. The practice and production of this group of Argentine photographers gives an account of the unpublished ways in which contemporary photography is part of today's complex reality. Through the constitution of practices that cross the documentary, the poetic, the horizontality, the self-management, the affective and the social, their production and actions are installed on the border between art, activism and photojournalism. The decision to erase individual identities and the abandonment of personal authorship in pursuit of a collective voice and gaze is one of his most significant bets. Interest in macro-political issues coexists with a strong inscription on regional problems, articulating the demands of immediacy, the street, and life stories. It´s images address issues such as work, gender, sex-politics, territory, memory and human rights, migration and agroecology, among others, from different perspectives.

Keywords : SADO; Collective; Photography; Art; Documental; Photoactivism.
