Abstract
This article is the outcome of a project to photographically document the David Capistrano Filho Birthing House (Casa de Parto David Capistrano Filho) continuously for 12 years from 2005 to 2017. The photographs narrate daily life in the institution: its regular activities with families, celebrations, its domestic, therapeutic, and community activities, and activities involving the exercise of citizenship for the right to autonomy and quality in reproductive health care. The birthing house is a public health institution that serves women with low-risk pregnancies in Realengo, a district in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro. More broadly, it proposes to educate and inform by creating bonds and relationships of proximity and by fostering non-medical practices and transdisciplinary care.

Summary
This article is the outcome of a project to photographically document the David Capistrano Filho Birthing House (Casa de Parto David Capistrano Filho) continuously for 12 years from 2005 to 2017. Imagem 1: Vista frontal da Casa de Parto David Capistrano Filho (CPDCF) (Foto de Adriana Medeiros, 2017). Como essas características não são muito convencionais em unidades de saúde, tive curiosidade em saber mais sobre a chegada das mulheres assistidas na casa.
