The Venezuelan refugee crisis is one of the most significant migration events in recent history, with over 8 million people leaving their country, driven by economic collapse, political instability, and widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic services.

A crise humanitária dos refugiados e migrantes venezuelanos já ultrapassa 8 milhões de pessoas, uma das maiores deslocações da história recente. No Brasil, o projeto Acolhidos por meio do trabalho oferece uma oportunidade de integração por meio do emprego, suporte social e conexões comunitárias, promovendo a reconstrução de vidas com dignidade e protagonismo.

Nesta galeria, através das lentes do cineasta humanitário Matteo Bastianelli, apresentamos imagens que capturam momentos únicos dessas jornadas. As fotos retratam desde a chegada ao país até os desafios e conquistas na adaptação, com histórias marcadas pela força do trabalho e da educação.

Percorrendo cenários que vão das cidades fronteiriças às grandes metrópoles, a narrativa visual destaca a resiliência dos migrantes e refugiados, além da generosidade das comunidades que os acolhem.
