Warriors

This beautiful scupture, by Bruno Giorgi, called "The Warriors" but most comonly refered to as "Os Candangos" (word also used as a reference to those who are from Brasília) represents more than 80 thousand workers who came to build the city. It has been concluded in 1959, and restored in 1987.

Kindness at the Metro

Recently a sort of art is just appearing inside our subway trains.

It seems to me they are made of stickers and so far I could not find any reference or news about them. Are they part of an official initiative to embelish our trips? Maybe a civil initiative? Anyway, I quite like some of them, like this one, picturing Profeta Gentileza.

Still Beings in town

Antony Gormley's Still Being exibition is in town, and his still beings are spreaded around the city.

This one is standing in a very hectic place, just beside the metropolitan bus station, and is raising a lot of intriguing reactions from the public.
