Portret: Wagner Schwartz (2022)

At the end of my first year as a Journalism student, the final assignment was to make a short news report. 

 

I had heard of a writer who had to flee his country for political reasons. PEN Flanders helped me get in touch with him. His name is Wagner Schwartz.

 

Wagner is a writer, performer, dancer and choreographer from Brazil. After a video of his performances La Bête went viral, he had to flee the country. Even Jair Bolsonaro, who would later become president, had send him death threats.
