This is a work about business establishments in the city of Mindelo on the Island of São Vicente, Cape Verde. Located in working class neighbourhoods, these shops are characterised by the variety of products and services they offer and for being places where residents meet and relate to each other. Photographed with compact digital cameras, this project is a collaboration between João Dongo and António Júlio Duarte, which was produced for the Cape Verde International Photography Festival in September 2014.
