MinaLima
Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima formed their graphic design company after a ten year collaboration designing for major feature films.
Their experience in films has inspired a less conventional approach to graphic design; often having to tell a story through historical visual references or with the challenge of inventing new ones.
Consolidating 2D with 3D has always been a preoccupation, giving a tangible quality to the work and stepping outside of a solely digital format.
MinaLima is responsible for all graphic material for We-Waste Project. They also designed this website and logo.
Paulo Lins
Paulo Lins grew up in Brazil’s most notorious Favela, known to its residents as Cidade de Deus, the City of God.
His 1997 novel Cidade de Deus was made into a major feature film in 2003.
His experiences and knowledge supports We-Waste Project’s concepts and themes and makes this a natural collaboration between the creators and this amazing writer/ historian.
Paulo Lins shares the dramaturgy of the We-Waste Project with Beo Da Silva and Mauricio Carneiro.
He is currently working on a book about slavery in Brazil since the 15th century.
