What a beautiful video. Obrigada Barbara. It adds a distinct Brazilian taste to our discussions. It's interesting that it focuses exclusively on the point of view of the women who made dolls, and doesn't interview the Campana brothers. I do wonder if sitting on these dolls is a little disrespectful. It would be good if there was a more open interview when the women could be asked about this directly. I don't think we could imagine this happening with some of the dolls made by Aboriginal women in Western Australia, but perhaps we are too precious about this here.
Abraços.
