“You’re the Crazy One” was the message, in large letters, on the sticker affixed to the back of the Kombi van belonging to the Machado de Assis Psychosocial Care Center in Tucuruí, in the interior of Pará state. Its passengers were crammed into the seats, vying for the sacred breeze that entered through the half-open window. They were all dressed in traditional June festival attire, ready to present the square dance they had rehearsed for weeks to children from an entire school. Wearing calico dresses, satin ribbons in their hair, pigtails, and freckles on their cheeks, some of them chatted amongst themselves, while others simply observed, with distant gazes, the city streets passing by the window. This was one of the first moments I shared with the users of the CAPs in Tucuruí and with my friend and journalist Fabiana Nanô , who in 2013 became interested in seeking accounts, information, and stories about “madness” in southern and southeastern Pará and the work developed by the region's most renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Geraldo Salles. These stories would give rise to her second (and wonderful, I might add) book . She interviewed, I photographed. There were many visits to the CAPs units scattered throughout the state of Pará, an indigenous tribe that is almost impossible to reach by car, a quilombola community that can only be reached by boat, and some homes of doctors, nurses, colleagues, and the residences of patients of the psychiatrist Dr. Geraldo, who is now also my friend. I heard stories that broke my heart into tens of thousands of pieces and others that made it overflow with emotion. I portrayed the faces and smiles of people who strengthen me when I think about the struggle they lived and continue to live, without respite. These photos are just a small piece of a great story yet to be revealed.
