Paulo Antonio Paranaguá

Paulo Antonio Paranaguá, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1948, is a prominent journalist, historian, and photographer known for his in-depth exploration of Latin America's complex history. A son of a diplomat, he grew up in various countries, which informed his understanding of global narratives. His activism during the tumultuous political climate of the 1960s led to his imprisonment in Argentina under a dictatorship. Over the years, he has worked with major media outlets, including Jornal do Brasil and Le Monde, and has published significant works on Latin American cinema and history. His latest project, 'História da América Latina em 100 Fotografias,' weaves a connected global history through photography, challenging traditional national narratives and highlighting the region's cultural richness amidst its struggles.
