The article aims to share the experience of holding a photographic exhibition held with solid waste collectors in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, RS. People generally do not know the work of the pickers and also does not associate your activity as something worthy, which generates income and that allows the quality of life and social inclusion. The pickers are people rendered invisible by society and stigmatized for their work with ‘waste’. For the organization of the exhibition was invited a volunteer photographer who took photos in four post-consumer recycling cooperatives. The exposure was made with the images selected by the authors. The success with the public, evidenced by the number and the reaction of visitors, the approval of the pickers as well as their presentation in various spaces such as businesses, schools, and events, may be indicative of the positive outcome of the exposition.Downloads
