Retomada: the Guarani struggle for their land
Retomada documents the movement to reclaim ancestral lands led by the Guarani Indigenous people in Brazil. Rooted in a long history of resistance, their struggle faces systemic violence: police forces aligned with agribusiness interests, private militias… The Guarani describe it as a “slow genocide.”

Context: 4th edition of FIJC
As part of the 4th edition of the Carleton-sur-Mer International Journalism Festival (FIJC), this exhibition is included in an ambitious program addressing major geopolitical issues: Ukraine, Donald Trump’s United States, a Europe in crisis, the Middle East, and Québec’s political landscape.
A unique collaboration
For the past four years, FIJC, the Vaste et Vague artist center and Rencontres de la photographie en Gaspésie have joined forces to highlight the work of outstanding artists. The 2026 edition provided Renaud Philippe with an ideal platform.
