Muniz’s art and his interest in activism often directly intersect, as in his photographic series “Pictures of Junk.” Muniz hired catadores (garbage collectors) to collect material and to serve as models for the figures in the famous works of art on which his images are based. The story was subject of Waste Land (2010) -an Oscar-nominated film-

Muniz’s project brought attention to the predicament of the pickers, who allied to form the Association of Collectors of the Metropolitan Landfill of Jardim Gramacho, Brazil. Although the country has very few municipal recycling programs, a significant percentage of its trash is reclaimed thanks to the work of pickers. Muniz donated $50,000 from the sale of a photograph from the series to the trash collectors who posed for the works and, along with the documentary filmmakers, has donated $276,000 to the workers’ collective. In 2011 he was named a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador in recognition of his work with the catadores.

He also opened the Escola Vidigal in the Vidigal favela, near his home in Rio, which offers preschool and after-school programs in art, design, and technology for underprivileged children.

 “I’m at this point in my career where I’m trying to step away from the realm of fine arts because I think it’s a very exclusive, very restrictive place to be. What I want to be able to do is to change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.”

The really magical things are the ones that happen right in front of you. A lot of the time you keep looking for beauty, but it is already there. And if you look with a bit more intention, you see it.
