Projeto Flagra

In 2024 BT Studios founded Projeto Flagra, a non profit in City of God, Rio de Janeiro. A free photography course training young people from the favela to tell their own stories.

Born inside CDD Skate Arte, Flagra is the only project in the neighborhood using photography to preserve local memory and create real opportunities. The course is open to ages 15 to 29, with priority for City of God residents.

“Flagra has completely changed my perspective on life in the favela. It makes people around me realize that a single photo can change lives.”
