Salvo melhor contexto.

The FotoDialogo pictures were inspired by real life stories told by inner-city women of color. The name was suggested by a woman who said, “What we are creating here is a fotonovela of our own lives!” Photo-novella or photo-literature is a common genre of comic strip in Latin America that uses pictures of people to illustrate narrative plots similar to those in soap operas. The FotoDialogo draws from Paulo Freire’s (1973) adult literacy method. As one of the most prominent thinkers in the field of education and social change movements, Freire collaborated with artists in his literacy campaigns in Brazil, and in his development work in Africa and other Latin American countries. The use of what Freire called "codifications" introduced a new perspective on teaching and learning through the use of media such as games, pictures, literature, theater, and folk art to help learners reflect upon projections of their living situations in order to read the word and the world by critically analyzing the new situations presented to them.
