„Trabalhadores Do Brasil!“ is a public art work, made for the 12th Bienal of Curitiba 2015.
It is a direct translation of Klaus Staecks „Deutsche Arbeiter! Die SPD will euch eure Villen
im Tessin wegnehmen“, made in 1973.
The work reflects on Brasils absurd, non-identificatory political situation in 2015/16 and the right-wing propaganda that mainly consists of anti left discourse and the current demand of the
upper middle class for the regress of the dictatorial military rule.
Therefore it combines poster and fond design and propagandistic reproduction tequniques used by the military dictorship as well as the amnesty movement from the 1964-1984.
