LUTO #elenão#elenunca#elejamais

Fascist Brazil! Militarization of politics and daily life! Misogynist in power!

This is an act of protest which opens up a dialogue with our violent colonial past.

Did we listen?

Using the EZLN communiqué “Did you listen?” as a point of departure, as well as the memory of the thousands who have disappeared in Mexico as a result of violence, this action evokes a burial.
