About this artwork

Bandalha #4 is a limited archival print edition that resembles the Brazilian national flag. It denounces the hijacking of the country’s official symbol by taking away its trademark colors and replacing its geometric shapes with the transcript of a conversation between two senators who conspired against the first female president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, elected with more than 54 million votes. Bandalha can be hoisted in a performance, whilst two performers recite the dialogue. Meanwhile, the instrumental version of the Brazilian national anthem with the scratch sounds of an old vinyl record will be playing in the background.
