EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Rafael Marchante, we witness a poignant moment in Lisbon on February 7,2013. The image portrays a group of determined individuals attending a protest against government austerity measures outside the Finance Ministry. However, what makes this demonstration particularly significant is that it is led by disabled persons who have come together to voice their concerns and fight for their rights. The scene exudes resilience and unity as these brave individuals gather with banners and signs, demanding change from an administration that has imposed harsh economic policies. Their presence symbolizes the strength of marginalized communities coming together to challenge oppressive systems. Marchante's lens captures not only the physical struggle faced by disabled persons but also highlights their unwavering spirit in fighting for justice. The composition emphasizes the diversity within the crowd, showcasing people from all walks of life united under one cause. This photograph serves as a reminder that activism knows no boundaries; it transcends physical limitations and empowers those who are often overlooked or silenced. It stands as a testament to the power of collective action and serves as an inspiration for others facing similar challenges around the world. Through his lens, Marchante immortalizes this historic moment where voices were raised against injustice – reminding us all of our responsibility to support and uplift those whose struggles may be different from our own.
