Artists, musicians and activists across Brazil occupy government buildings to oppose the new government’s shutting of the ministry of culture, women, racial equality and human rights.
Several buildings in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, as well as seven other state capitals, were packed with hundreds of people and members of major cultural organizations, AFP reports.
Some even made a special opera for interim President Michel Temer. Chants of “Out Temer!” filled the iconic Gustao Capanema Palace in Rio. At the Teatro Oficina in São Paulo, a building known for its role in the resistance movement during the years of Brazil’s military junta, dissenters adapted the popular song “Baile de Favela,” to sound their protest, artnews mentions.
