EU NÃO ME CURVO

I DO NOT BOW

This artistic renditions of Brazilian minorities are a protest against Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro.
He is the epitome of the right wing extremism that constantly attack LGBTQIA+, Native Indians, Black people, Women, etc…
Disclaimer: His words are hideous, can and will hurt.

Having someone like him leading one of the largest economies of the world exposes a deep wound in our society and all the prejudice and bigotry we carry, and DESPITE all of that, or even worse, BECAUSE all of that, he won the presidency election of 2018.
Those quotes could come out as a shock to you, if you are not familiar with Bolsonaro, but I guarantee it was hard to choose between so many despicable quotes available for each of those themes, sadly we are going to have a long term with one of the most despicable human beings that ever walked this Earth.

Bolsonaro’s most prominent characteristic, homophobia, that actually made him famous by the atrocities he used to say without any shame or regret... and for that I bring you the art titled as PRIDE

Art Title: CANDOMBLÉ
"Candomblé as tied to blackness was seen as an act of resistance against the coloniser. This was literal in the case of quilombos: communities founded by runaway slaves, where Candomblé is most often practiced and to this day undergo frequent raids by police. A quashing of Candomblé thus becomes a quashing of blackness, and vice versa."

Bolsonaro is against every reserve for the original inhabitants of Brazil, the native indians, and his government is taking action to let “progress” take over their lands and the Amazon forest is having the worst numbers on deforestation in years, his government is working hard on deconstructing all the laws and regulations we hardly created to protect the forest from the agribusiness.
