Abstract

The article discusses Venezuelans migratory flow to understand how they proceed to survive in Cuiabá/Brazil, state of Mato Grosso. With lack of housing and access to work, immigrants found the city's busy streets as a place to introduce themselves and make the struggle for survival visible. The dynamics of life and communication strategies faced by Venezuelans living in the city are surrounded by difficulties, exclusion processes and prejudice. The methodological basis is qualitative, inspired by observation and the selection of communication strategies: a body, photography, WhatsApp and visual identity. We show that immigrants maintain expectations for job opportunities and income generation, and they actively fight against indifference and act proudly to survive and improve living conditions.
