EDITORS COMMENTS
Old and New, with Brasilia, the planned city that became Brazil's capital in 1960, rising majestically in the background. This print takes us back to November 1st, 1968 when locals were seen scouring for bargains amidst a bustling makeshift sheet metal market. The juxtaposition of modernity and poverty is striking as Brasilia's iconic structures like the Congresso Nacional stand tall against a backdrop of shanty dwellings. It serves as a poignant reminder of the stark inequalities that existed within this rapidly developing nation during the mid-20th century. In this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Freddie Reed, we witness ordinary Brazilians navigating through their daily lives; seeking affordable goods from humble market stalls while surrounded by towering landmarks symbolizing progress and ambition. The image encapsulates both resilience and struggle as these resourceful individuals strive to make ends meet amidst challenging circumstances. The vibrant energy emanating from these shops reflects an unwavering spirit despite economic hardships. Reed's lens captures not only a moment but also tells a larger story about urbanization, social disparities, and human perseverance. It invites us to reflect on how cities evolve over time - embracing new visions while grappling with persistent issues such as poverty and inadequate housing. This evocative photograph transports us back to an era where dreams clashed with reality; where hope mingled with hardship. A testament to Brazil's complex history, it serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit found
