Graffiti in Brazil and Political Protests - Part 2 Part 2 From left to right, the first personage is a mix of many symbols. Wearing a green long-sleeve-Brazilian-flag shirt, the person is both maneuvering a ball and holding a bottle – which in my option seems to be of an alcoholic drink – he is also blind. The band blocking his vision is not the only strange detail above the neck of the personage, his face is strange, maybe a horse face, but he smiles, he cannot see but can smile. Next in the picture there is a political activist. He wears a hoodie and writes a political phrase in the wall. His light-blue pants, orange zipper and the hoodie do not allow people to see much of his body and doing so prevents people from spotting his identity. The third element is a phrase that in Portuguese says: Corruption a country of everybody. The phrase paraphrases one of the principal Brazil's Federal Government slogan that says: Brazil a country of everybody. In my opinion, the country of Brazil is corrupt not because of our politicians' manner of doing politics, but because of two principal reasons.. The vast majority of the population is blind, and so is the first person in the figure, and those who do not see, do not fight for their better future without corruption. Moreover, part of the population already got used to corruption; they may want to continue to live their lives as it is today: with corruption everywhere. The two personages in the picture represent the entire population of the country. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the population could be represented by the blind one. Many people argue that politicians are corrupted or that one party is more corrupted than another, and that is why the country is so divided nowadays. However, this is just a reflex of the problem showed in the figure: while a few protest and try to make the country a corruption-free-place, the vast majority seem to be blind. In conclusion, yes, Graffiti has become accepted as art by the vast majority of Brazilians and can be found in most places. Yet, important artist as well as new ones still use the art as tool to protest against politicians neglect with the population in need. http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/633/758275/Os-Gemeos_Corruption_Nov10_4_1000.jpg
