Title: A desobediência civil
Description: Twenty-two oil paintings and collage on canvas and wood - two works of which are composed of multiple paintings the first, "ziviller Ungerhorsam" (Civil disobedience, 2011-2013), consisting of 51 pieces, and a second, art and resistance, a frieze formed of 23 paintings - and a video of approximately 10 min., "Zen Hostel Brazil", presented in a looping. The theme alludes, in the context of culture, to political-social situations of constraint to freedoms and human rights in recent Brazilian republican history, bringing it to the domain of art, specifically to the practice of painting, stressing it, in order to contribute to productive reflection. With this exhibition, we inaugurated another space of temporary exhibitions of the Memorial of the Resistance of São Paulo.
