A visual investigation into the effects of the Environmental Crisis and the challenges of Urban Planning (public policies and environmental protection) in Porto Alegre- Rio Grande do Sul /Brazil  to contain the natural disasters that have been proving to be more frequent, considering the sequence of alarming natural disasters that she has been monitoring, researching and photographing since the end of 2023 and this recent strong chain of storms in January 2024, bringing awareness to cause and effect, understanding and witnessing the damage felt in the short and medium term by residents, the population and the daily life of the place. Ale Bruny presents Porto Alegre as evidence of the geographic fragility and dependence of the relationship between man, environment and territory, which is an extension of the greatest and most worrying global crisis of our generation.

To follow the next chapter of the investigation (photos and videos) she has been dedicated now, and all the stories she has been covering of those impacted by the disaster ( the socio-economical-mental health challenges ) and their testimonies on recovering and rebuilting their lives, the NGOs and volunteering groups ongoing efforts, please visit her instagram:  @alebruny
