We are pleased to announce Mana by André Príncipe (en) Were you able to see the full moon from your window today? Mana is one of the fundamental ideas of the Polynesian worldview, a sacred force of supernatural origin. To haveMana means to have influence, authority, the ability to act upon a situation. The quality of Mana is not limited to individuals. People, governments, places, animals, and inanimate objects can also possess Mana. The photographs were taken in the Portuguese prisons of Odemira, Tires, and Santa Cruz do Bispo during the autumn of 2025. All these prisons are very close to the Atlantic Ocean. In 2025, Autumn was hot, cold and mild. In prisons, women are not allowed to have mirrors, phones, or cameras. Dinners are at 6:30 pm and the return to cells is at 7:00 pm. A large part of the sentences are related to drug crimes. In some prisons, there are baby carriages in the wings. In others, there are anti-violence protection nets. (pt) Conseguiste hoje, da tua janela, ver a lua cheia? Mana é uma das ideias fundamentais da mundivisão Polinésia, uma força sagrada de origem sobrenatural. Ter Mana quer dizer ter influência, autoridade, ter a capacidade de actuar sobre uma situação. A qualidade de Mana não está limitada a indivíduos. Povos, governos, lugares, animais e objectos inanimados também podem ter Mana.  As fotografias foram feitas nos estabelecimentos prisionais de Odemira, Tires e Santa Cruz do Bispo durante o Outono de 2025. Todas estas prisões ficam perto, a poucos quilómetros, do Oceano Atlântico. Em 2025, o Outono foi quente, frio e ameno. Nas prisões, as mulheres não podem ter espelhos, telefones ou câmaras fotográficas. Os jantares são às seis e meia e a recolha às celas às sete. Grande parte das penas cumpridas estão relacionadas com crimes de tráfico ou consumo de droga. Nalgumas prisões há carrinhos de bebés nas alas. Noutras há redes de proteção anti-violência.
