The photographic exhibition "Dialogues of Laughter" is an exhibition composed of eleven photographs, signed by the Brazilian photographer and artist, Marcos Cesário. The images were captured in the context of the homonymous project: «Diálogos do Riso» that took place in the interior of the Bahian backcountry (Brazil), with public schools from several localities, from the municipality of Jaguarari-Bahia, as scenery. the project's poetic intervention surprised teachers, children and the community, with the unpredictable presence of clowns and laughter.  Maisa Antunes, a pedagogue and participant in this artistic project, joins her PhD with the research: "Dialogues of Laughter - An open field to rethink art and education", to be developed under the Doctoral programme "Post-Colonialisms and Global Citizenship", under supervision of António Sousa Ribeiro and Maria Irene Ramalho.
