The participatory methodology in this project proved to enhance the process of dialogue by providing an iterative process of visual and communicative data. The images provided the audience – in this case the government – with a ‘real-life’ picture of the realities of this community; a significant step in challenging preconceived perceptions of this community and in documenting their struggles.
In an interview with the president of the National Movement of Catadores (MNCR) in Sa ̃ o Paulo in November 2010, it was made clear that ‘very few [governments] know the day-to-day reality here. Not everyone knows’. This indicates a real disconnect between the perception of government and reality of catadore/ as. A catadore from Coopercate, Maua, spoke of the challenges of being a catadore and the importance of working with govern- ment in inclusive planning.
It is a tremendous challenge being catadores, right? Knowing, understanding, participation in public administration it is essential and they [catadores] are making so much progress, they already know both the secretary and the mayor, and they know that we are trying to expand in a constructive manner, in a planned way because without planning we get nothing, so we can reach the goal. I have a dream, do not know if this is a dream or utopia, which Maua has within five years, has, at least covered 50% of selective collection and the next 10 years is 100% . . . and the work it has to be visual I’m afraid to show who we are and what we came for, and where we go, no doubt.
Similarly, during the focus group in Diadema in December 2010, one government representative commented on how the video provided a new way of seeing and reinforced his percep- tions of catadore/as as environmental stewards – one of the main goals of the PV project.
