The Movement of Workers Without Roofs group recently held an occupation in the Morumbi neighborhood of Sao Paulo to call attention to the housing inequalities in the area.
More than 800 people took part in the action, setting up a camp site with about 200 bamboo and tarp tents. According to photographer Mídia Ninja, the area shows "explicit inequality side-by-side," with apartments worth over $350,000 co-existing with communities that have little-to-no infrastructure like Viela da Paz and Vila Praia.
The images are brought to you by Magnum Photos with the support of ESPN, Save the Dream and Instituto Moreira Salles. For more Magnum images, check out their Tumblr page.
