What's Going On, Brazil?

Performing Art, Dance, Music, Video, Installation & Photography Against Sexism, Stereotypes, Racism and Politics.

Brazil is upside down, socially, politically, economically and culturally. A conservative right-wing wave is taking the country, censuring art exhibitions, pursuing afro-brazilian religions and traditions, reintroducing slavery, attacking the freedom of minorities, restoring a shameful morality. Women in Brazil are more than ever having to fight against sexism and the hyper-sexualization of their bodies. Rapes and feminicide rates are rising. But buttocks and boobs are still selling beer on TV adds. Travel agencies keep advertising the Brazilian beauties as part of the touristic travel attractions of the country for foreigners.
By asking questions and pointing issues, we invite you to discuss with us and think together the impact of bad politics and stereotypes in our society.
