José, Caro Patrono: relatório de fotolivro sobre a procissão de São José em 2024, na cidade de Inhuma-PI

Abstract

This work focuses on the procession of Saint Joseph, held in the city of Inhuma-PI, a religious and cultural manifestation of great relevance to the local community. The final product consists of a journalistic photobook, presented here through the report. The general objective is to document and represent the 2024 edition of the procession of Saint Joseph, with an educational and informative purpose aimed at both the academic community and the general public. The specific objectives include: recording, through ethnographic photography, the expressions of faith and the social interactions observed during the event; conducting participant observation based on ethnographic techniques to understand the cultural and religious dynamics of the Inhuman community; and analyzing the visual narratives produced in conjunction with ethnographic data, identifying how religious practices reinforce

community bonds and local traditions. The research is theoretically grounded in authors such as Silvan (2019) and Borges (2021), and employs a methodological approach that involves bibliographic research, ethnography, visual ethnography, and photoethnography. As a result, the work offers visual representations of faith and culture in Inhuma, highlighting the procession as an expression of the city’s intangible heritage.
