Description

Antônio Justa neighborhood, in Maracanaú (CE), arises from a colony founded in 1942 for the isolation of people with leprosy. Today the new residents and the descendants of the first patients live in a territory marked by irregular occupation and real estate speculation, crossed by the stigma of the disease in the past and the precarious current reality.
