Bethônicos MUSEUM OF PUBLIC CONCERNS sammelt Dokumente über den Bergbau in Minas Gerais. Sein kritischer Blick weicht ab vom allgemein vorherrschenden der zumeist vom Staat oder von Privatunternehmen unterstützten Bergbaumuseen in Brasilien. >>

“While mineral extraction is a huge global business dominated by few multinational companies, the damage done to the local landscape and surrounding community is conspicuously absent from local and national public debate. In an effort to raise critical awareness and foster discussion, documentary and photographic material from historical archives are compiled, while field research is done, constituting source content, such as research about the presence of women in the mining fields in Minas Gerais.” (Mabe Bethônico) >>
